No strong opinion as to whether to do that or not, but if we do, I wonder
if we shouldn't also select --nooutdent-long-comments. I noticed a few
places where it was doing that (ie moving comments left if they went past
the right margin) and didn't particularly like it.

What would be more per project style is to reflow overly-wide comments
into multiple lines, but I don't see an option for that :-(
