I think we all kind of agree that we want clang-format (#424, #2037 (comment), #2946 (comment)). Now with the 3.0.0 tag being the "tip of master": Let's have another go at this? 😀

It apparently even supports Whitesmiths for some time (albeit I'm not sure how closely that resembles the current style). Frankly, when accepting the hazzle of a reformat, I guess moving to some more "commonly used style" would also make sense. I got used to Whitesmiths now, but I certainly remember having a fairly hard time parsing it at the beginnning. 😅

In any case: Having a CI job that ensures proper coding style from then on is probably also a good idea.
