+# See https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormatStyleOptions.html
+# For an online formatter to test settings, see

+# Note that clang-format cannot express the style that closing parentheses
+# behave similar to closing curly braces in a multi-line setting in that
+# they have to be on a line of their own at the same indentation level
+# as the opening part.
