Summary

The method only takes PPreprocessor and don't require structures that
might not be available (e.g. Sema and ASTContext) when CodeCompletionString
needs to be generated for macros.

Could you give a little more context about how this will be used? (where the completion items come from, and when the strings will get built)

include/clang/Sema/CodeCompleteConsumer.h
921

please document the new function - particularly why it's different and what's the use case it supports
(if I understand right, it's to allow storing CodeCompletionResult instances for later stringification only when they're for macros - why?)

One of the args you're *not* taking here is ASTContext, but if I understand right it must still be alive: this->Macro points into the IdentifierTable which is owned by ASTContext.
In some sense taking this arg seems like a safety feature!

Done. Added documentation.

One of the args you're *not* taking here is ASTContext, but if I understand right it must still be alive: this->Macro points into the IdentifierTable which is owned by ASTContext.

ASTContext might not be available during preprocessing. It turned out that ASTContext only holds a reference to the IdentifierTable which is owned by the Preprocessor, so requiring a Preprocessor should be safe.
