But still many things in "Use clang libraries to implement better
versions of existing tools" are doable as it seems to me. E.g. delta
replacement based on clang.

Yes, thanks Anton for clarifying: my comment was only in reference to
the "indent" formatting tool.

+1 as a would-be user of a tool like that.

Actually John Regehr & others have implemented something like this
called CReduce ( https://github.com/csmith-project/creduce ). It's
still a little limited in its C++ transformation abilities but seems
to provide a fairly extensible foundation & is already proving quite
useful. I'm not sure whether there's sufficient meat in there for a
GSoC project to improve CReduce's abilities in C++ (or other
dimensions) - but there's certainly some open work there, it seems.

+++++1 from me.  This would be very useful.
