Is your concern essentially that someone will add a new use to put files in a temp directory and not have access to this information from ASTUnit? Or do you have other concerns in mind? We should certainly investigate whether there are other uses of temp files from libclang as part of these changes. It's possible we'll find a situation that makes my suggestion untenable because we don't have easy access to the information we need. > Another issue is with the `FileSystemOptions` part: this class is widely used > in Clang.

We can keep an eye on https://llvm-compile-time-tracker.com/ to see if there is a surprising compile time increase though.
