We have users, in this case, I think it's V8, who would prefer to use gcc-style 
module level assembly if it is available. Their motivation is somewhat 
arbitrary, but generally, clang-cl supports a variety of extensions, some 
inherited from GCC, in all modes. Part of the point of switching compilers from 
MSVC to clang is to get access to those extensions.
