Since you are in the area, should the supported clang version be
optimistically updated to '18'? 17.x has already branched and I suspect
it would be too late in the release cycle to cherry-pick that change
from main if it were landed today (which seems pretty unlikely, given
there do not appear to be many reviews from high profile clang folks
yet).
