The problem with this is that our current code does is not clean according to 
that clean filter. So making a modification to a file would mean reformatting 
everything, which will not be accepted in code review.

Another problem is dealing with line numbers obtained from other people, like 
backtraces, or just plain looking at past history via git show and git blame. 
You *have* to deal with the original.
