It does feel a bit weird, but we shouldn't have started parsing before calling 
`Initialize` on the `ASTConsumer`. Therefore I agree with you that it won't 
cause problems in practice.

Calling `addPPCallbacks` in `FrontendAction` is against the goal of this patch 
set. The goal is to encapsulate as much as possible in the `IndexASTConsumer`, 
because they compose well, unlike `FrontendAction`s. Therefore, requiring 
customization in `FrontendAction` is not possible.
