Sure :-)

The motivation behind this patch (and a few more upcoming ones) is to make 
ClangFormat (the library) more friendly for IDE integration (which is our 
primary use case), in particular for on-the-fly auto-formatting.

In an IDE auto-format setting, it's often the case that only fragments of the 
file at a time are being formatted. Often that means only a single line is 
passed as context. Or, sometimes, the file really is only one line to start 
with (e.g. formatting a file containing a one-line function declaration with 
the 'wrap after return type' option on needs to insert a newline).
