Sadly, no tool, not even clang-format, is currently good enough at handling 
this situation. I researched it multiple times for KDevelop, but all tools 
have issues somewhere. Most of them with macros (like Q_OBJECT) or such. 
Hence, it's not really feasible to use a script to fixup stuff automatically 
without human intervention, or at least custom human review.
