although I don't use MSVC. I think '/Fo' is basically '-o'. Its semantic is to 
specify the path to the output file. And with '--precompile' the output file is 
BMI. And with '-c', the output is obj files. And with '-emit-llvm', the output 
is llvm ir. So I feel it is fine.

But of course, all of these are my thoughts and imagination. I am never a 
clang-cl user ever. So if now clang-cl can accept '-o', I don't mind to use 
that if @mathstuf agrees on this. Since most end users won't write this in my 
mind. The build system are the major users here.
