Did you look at the results of a typical and generally
style conforming
subsystem when reformatted with the new
rules you propose here with
clang-format?

One of the issues with hard-n-fast code formatters like
clang-format is taste.

clang-format doesn't have any so it can't know when _not_
to  reformat blocks according to its rules.

Tools like clang-format are generally fine for a first-pass
reformat of non-style compliant code, but are IMO generally
unsuitable for continuous automated use.
