"Since Apple is the only vendor implementing the language
right now, the compiler id can be just `Apple`."

This seems somehow wrong. Naming it based on some state 'right now' doesn't 
seem future proof. The 'MSVC' compiler id is not called 'Microsoft', the 
'QCC' compiler id is not called 'QNX', 'XL' is not called 'IBM'.

Is there a better name?

Thanks,

Steve.
