Propose to use clang-format to enforce hotspot codestyle

[John Rose]

FWIW my workaround for that is to put that particular
file name (and two others) on auto-mode-alist in my emacs
config file, turning off C mode altogether:

(push '("/vmSymbols\\.hpp\\'" . fundamental-mode) auto-mode-alist)
(push '("/globals\\.hpp\\'" . fundamental-mode) auto-mode-alist)
(push '("/vmStructs\\.cpp\\'" . fundamental-mode) auto-mode-alist)

There are surely less blunt ways to do it, but it’s better than
the frustrating lock-up you describe, which I am also familiar
with (Aquamacs, many recent versions).
