I was hoping that something generic could work here. Something that we
could provide that didn't claim to be authoritative, that has a
reasonable degree of compatibility that allows most people to use the
file without much fuss. Kind of like our .editorconfig file. That
might not be a realistic goal, though, since the clang-format settings
are all quite complicated.
