But that is not a requirement. The requirement is to allow us to use what we have in .clang-format plus one other rule.

And if that requirement is met by copying the entire contents in .clang-format to a temporary file, adding the other one to the same temporary file, and then using the temporary file instead of .clang-format, that is fine, isn't it?
