Yes, I plan to send that to clang upstream.  I originally had those
changes in this commit but I was directed rather to send them first to
upstream.  See here [1] for roughly what I plan to send upstream
(although I have since noticed some unit tests that I guess should be
extended).

For now, the semantic analysis should be fine as the change should be
backward compatible and I haven't yet changed any of the users of
%b to use the new capabilities.
