From my understanding, the original motivation for these changes was to
cut down on the noise from the clang-format CI job. These changes seem
reasonable for that purpose, but affect the also formatter in general.

Out of curiousity, would it be possible to just configured clang-format
for the CI job to behave in this manner? Ultimately, I'm not sure that
would be good idea though because having a diverged set of rules may
just cause more noise.
