Well, my use case is for doing name mangling correctly with the MS and
Itanium manglers.

They take an ASTContext and get the existing CXXABI object to ask it some
details like the default calling conventions for methods, so if the correct
ABI object is not changed the mangled names will be incorrect. And parsing
the code twice to get a different ASTContext with another ABI doesn't seem
like a good idea.

Or maybe this can be refactored to extract the CXXABI out of the
ASTContext, and inject it by external logic where it's needed.
