thanks for the detailed info & suggestions Sacha !

this is the kind of thing that Mauser would typically handle, but from what
i have heard from him he is very busy for the moment, so i suggest we just
give it some time and i'm sure that he will get back on this as soon as he
finds the time

grtz

> - AccessModifierOffset: I found both use of value 0 and -4 in Hydrogen;
> - AlignAfterOpenBracket: this case happens rarely, maybe with DontAlign;
> - AllowShortCaseLabelsOnASingleLine: only seen once in all Hydrogen;
> - AlwaysBreakTemplateDeclarations: no templates are used in Hydrogen;
> - BreakBeforeBraces: inconsistent through Hydrogen;
> - BinPackArguments and BinPackParameters
> - ColumnLimit: there seem to be no limit, but is it wanted?
> - ConstructorInitializerIndentWidth
> - ContinuationIndentWidth
> - IndentCaseLabels: both found in Hydrogen
> - IndentWidth: since tab is used, the value is not very important;
> - KeepEmptyLinesAtTheStartOfBlocks: sometime fould, is it wanted?
> - MaxEmptyLinesToKeep: there a a lot of blank links in Hydrogen;
> - NamespaceIndentation: inconsistent though Hydrogen;
> - PointerAlignment: all found in Hydrogen, mainly right
> - SpaceBeforeParens: both Never and ControlStatements in Hydrogen;
> - SpacesInCStyleCastParentheses: both found;
> - SpacesInSquareBrackets: both found;
> - TabWidth: should be equal to IndentWidth;
> - UseTabs: always or only for indentation; I found that “alyaws”
> settings causes often troubles
