Personally I don't have anything against the idea. TimescaleDB uses
clang-format to mimic pgindent and it works quite well. One problem
worth mentioning though is that the clang-format file is dependent on
the particular version of clang-format. TSDB requires version 7 or 8
and the reason why the project can't easily switch to a newer version
is that the format has changed. So perhaps a directory would be more
appropriate than a single file.
