I wasn't asking for a separate clang RFC, just I wasn't aware of the previous 
one!  As you mentioned, it was significantly in the past, so I'd not heard of 
it/remembered it, and my quick grepping didn't show the backend.

Given the time/progress so far, I wouldn't mind some sort of re-assertion from 
the community at large that we are a: still interested in this, b: have a 
dedicated someone willing/able to do the work, which is a criteria for our RFCs
