I think that's the intended meaning of `AsIs` though. Template instantiations are not source code the user wrote, they're source code the compiler stamped out from code the user wrote. I hope `IgnoreUnlessSpelledInSource` isn't a misnomer. > I love the idea of being able to control visitation of template instantiation. > I am somewhat torn on whether it should be the default, and would like to > see more data. > I feel more strongly about needing AsIs when I want to match template > instantiations. FWIW, my experience in clang-tidy has been that template instantiations are ignored far more often than they're desired. In fact, instantiations tend to be a source of bugs for us because they're easy to forget about when writing matchers without keeping templates in mind. The times when template instantiations become important to *not* ignore within the checks is when the check is specific to template behavior, but that's a minority of the public checks thus far.
