Why not in master after everything compiles/runs?

+1

Good one. If you ask me I'd rename it using filter-branch so the names
look OK in history too.
At least I'll consider this in frameworks that moved outside of calligra/.

For the record, astyle-kdelibs is broken (if fully applied) because
astyle's options changed their meaning.
Discussed with someone and this is confirmed and big hope is that
clang beautifier can be reused, no volunteers so far.
I don't plan to apply to code I maintain, I wouldn't also want to read
code (esp. libraries) that changed a lot because of style changes.
