llvm dev - Apr 2016 - Clang project renamed

Hi everyone,

There are a number of issues with the current name of the Clang project:

 * It is prone to incorrect type setting, typically as CLang, CLANG, or
most commonly  c̦҉̫̘̺̹̖̗͒͆͋̈̃̇߯l߲҉̷̡̰̖͈̤̺͒҆̾̚͡͝a̺̹͍̔߭͠ͅn͋́͡g̱߫̉
 * The C++ compiler ends in the string "g++", which causes problems
for
compiler wrapper scripts
 * The name has been used by a kickstarter project
<https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/260688528/clang>, causing
incalculable confusion[0]

For the above reasons, and to support the LLVM project's rebranding effort
<http://blog.llvm.org/2016/04/undefined-behavior-is-magic.html>, the Clang
project has been renamed to Discord <http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Discord>.
Voiced by John de Lang-Cie (French for "John of Clang"), Discord is
part-dragon,
part-horse
<https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/654309465202794496/dDt64UJj_400x400.png>,
and perfectly embodies the virtues of the Clang (now, Discord) project:
disregard for established standards, an emphasis on chaos, and a firm
belief that undefined behavior is magic!

Thank you for your understanding.

Neal Stephenson has poetic license to do pretty much anything he
wants. If he want's to use "Clang", we'll *have* to change our
front-end's name... :(

I, for one, welcome our new steam-punk-unicorn-pony overlord.

May the rainbow be with you, always.

I second the motion.  All in favor?

Regarding the LLVM project's rebranding
effort<http://blog.llvm.org/2016/04/undefined-behavior-is-magic.html> I am
reliably informed that the blog post contains an error.  It states:
The logo is now clearly a pegasus pony.

My local expert in all-things-pony reports that the updated logo is in fact NOT
a pegasus pony, but a bat-pony.
(As an obviously irrelevant aside, the bat-pony is MLP canon.)
