The MCAsmParser interface defines ParseIdentifier is public. There's no reason
whatsoever for AsmParser (which implements the MCAsmParser interface) to hide
this method.
This is all part of a bigger scheme. Several asm parsing "extensions" use the
main parser properly through the MCAsmParser interface. However,
GenericAsmParser has much more exclusive access and uses implementation details
from the concrete implementation - AsmParser, in which it is also declared as
a friend. This makes for overly coupled code, and even makes it hard to split
GenericAsmParser into a separate file. There's no reason why GenericAsmParser
shouldn't be able to access AsmParser through an abstract interface, as long
as it's actually registered as an extension.
