It turns out to be very easy to modify astyle so as to skip the padding between 
(( and )[ .
There was already a list of exceptions to avoid padding in cases like ); .

Presumably, other users depend on astyle working as it does with the current 
options.  The maintainer recently surveyed users about which options they use.

We could use a regexp pre-filter to add space where gnu-style wants it, and use 
that as a model to support the request for a new option in astyle.
