Clang decouples the parser from AST construction by letting the parser  
take an interface class that has a virtual method for everything that is  
parsed along the lines of ActOnStartOfFunctionDef().
So a client that doesn't need an AST doesn't have to build one.

Don't know if it's properly implemented in Clang now though.
