I would expect it to apply only to the physical line, similar to how other 
formatters work. However, the main concern doesn’t seem to be about its 
behavior but rather about extending clang-format directive with new options at 
all.

In most cases where users find the formatting unacceptable, they tend to 
disable it, while only a narrow group take the initiative to address the root 
cause by submitting pull requests or suggesting new rules. For instance, a 
[search for `clang-format` usage](https://shorturl.at/SFNGZ) on GitHub, even 
just for C++, shows hundreds of uses across various scenarios. Analyzing all of 
them and covering them with new rules would take a significant amount of time,. 
anyway, we can assume that these options are not without value.

```cpp
// clang-format off
CommandStyle(set,Set);
// clang-format on
```

vs

```cpp
CommandStyle(set,Set); // clang-format off-line
```

We don't know the context of why it was disabled. However, I would use `// 
clang-format off-line` in a similar way to `// NOLINT`., it's up to personal 
preference.

If these options introduce significant complexity that could lead to 
regressions without improving the development experience, I believe the 
discussion should be wrapped up, and both the PR and issue should be closed. 
Otherwise, it would be helpful to continue the discussion in the issue to 
gather more insights into why users need these changes. Does that make sense?
