Last I tried clang-format it couldn't format our reference alignment 
rules in function prototypes.

Uncrustify could get closer, but it failed to ensure there was one space 
between the longest type name and the longest number of references. So 
I'd get results like:

   (SomethingLonger *foo,
    Worse         ***worse,
    GError         **error)

I wrote the rules in C for Builder using GSV (it auto-formats them when 
you close a parenthesis), but it fails to take an entire block of 
function prototypes into account (something I'd like to see improved).

I think Owen wrote an elisp macro for Emacs years ago called 
"GNOME-align-args" or something like that. That one *might* have handled 
blocks of functions.
