If you see value in supporting response files and are willing to invest more 
time in the implementation, I'll expand a bit on 
https://reviews.llvm.org/D34440#809529. Since the primary use case for 
@response_files is to work around the command line length limit, and, as Anton 
pointed out, they can be generated by build systems on the fly (both only 
relevant on Windows, I guess), they may be valuable for passing compiler 
arguments (they can grow really large) and less so for other arguments of Clang 
tools. So it seems like the right place to expand response files is where the 
compiler arguments are retrieved from the compilation database. However, a bit 
of extra attention may be needed to properly handle the use case of Clang 
tooling as a library with in-memory files system (where we probably don't want 
to read random response files that compiler arguments in the compilation 
database refer to).
