+1 As soon as you get accustomed to have formatting done and enforced
automatically, it is great. Other major projects have done so for
quite a while now.

If doesn't think it is good enough, please let us know and, if it is
close enough, we can look at going for a newer LLVM to match the style
a bit more. Also note that one can disable formatting for some
sections of code if really needed.

Cheers,
Miguel
