The ascending traversal should not be in the AST library at all. If tooling or 
static analysis wants this, that's fine, but navigating upwards is not 
something the AST supports, and we do not want any part of clang proper 
developing a reliance on having a parent map, so we're working on moving the 
parent map out of `ASTContext` (with a plan to eventually move it out of the 
AST library). See D71313 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D71313> for related work in 
this area.
