I don't know how often those ugly outputs happen, but it is possible to
disable clang-format locally, like this:

https://github.com/efficios/babeltrace/blob/5105ea10985ef0512878ff3f9bc8e1092735e75c/src/cpp-common/bt2/field-path.hpp#L106-L114

So if it's a relatively rare occurence that the output is atrociously
bad enough to make your eyes bleed, the benefit of the tool is still
there.
