Why not just s/Apple LLVM/Apple clang/?

because that would break it for older versions of Xcode that reported
themselves as "Apple LLVM" and I am not even sure when the change was
made to even consider those versions as obsolete.

Either way, I am sure once we figure out which versions are affected
and which versions macOS developers care enough for, that would be the
obvious next step.

My daily development machine still reports "Apple LLVM", so it would
indeed be premature to `s/Apple LLVM/Apple clang/`. Moreover, there's
simply no good reason to `s/Apple LLVM/Apple clang/` since it's not a
maintenance burden to leave "Apple LLVM" in the match pattern.
