Hi,
GCC plugins should only exist when some compiler feature needs to be proven but does not exist in either GCC nor Clang. For example, if a desired feature is already in Clang, it should be added to GCC upstream. Document this explicitly.
I'll put this in -next unless there are objections. :)
Thanks!
