Our own fixcc script introduces some modifications to naked Astyle if I
remember correctly.  Is there some reasonable hope that we could boil
down a "common denominator" style where alternately applying clang
formatting and fixcc would end up with a fixed end result rather than
some cycle?  Of course, that state would trivially be reached by one
style doing nothing, or the styles focusing on different problems, but
that would not be useful: we'd want to end up with either style doing as
complete of a job as possible so that people using either will commit
stuff that is mostly fine.
