I'm for this -- we waste too much time arguing about code style and spend
way too much time cleaning up code.

We do differ from Google C++ style in certain ways. I'm for eliminating
most of the differences.

We should do a 1-step reformat-the-world and then distribute a commit hook
to reformat. That will prevent a lot of unrelated noise in PRs.

It looks like reformatting the world will change about 32k lines. That's a
small price to pay for never having to worry about this again.
