That's a problem.

This is correct.

That won't do, sorry.  Let's make it as easy as possible for non-Emacs
users; but choosing a coding style that Emacs does not support is
a no-go.

We can still opt for using the current astyle solution, just as
long as we see that this approach is a huge step forward and
recognise that astyle still needs some fixes (and request these
on the astyle development list).

Greetings,
Jan.
