However, in the end, I think that yet-another-document is not the

your source according to the GNU Coding Style and that way you can always
tell your users "Run indent" and be done with it. The output of such a
program should always be considered correct, and if it's not, we should
fix it immediately.
Why can't we use indent?
Sadly, "indent" simply breaks c++ code.
I think the solution here is clang-format with a suitable clang-format
configuration file. One has been started (gcc/contrib/clang-format),
but it's not yet complete.
At the end of the day I never want to see another comment about code
formatting because the user used X and X always formats code correctly.
Amen.
