Thanks Joe,

I saw your note in the original mailing-list thread and just wanted to
say the way I use clang-format is editor based.

I have a hotkey that triggers clang-format to reformat the current
statement, or current hi-lighted region. If I don't like it, then
'undo' puts it all back for manual adjustment..

This way I am selective of where I apply it, and I find it is
something like 95% of the time good, IHMO.

Big time saver for wrapping long lines, moving code around (eg
indent,de-indent) and other mundane daily tasks.

Cheers,
Jason
