I do not see that as a blocker. Our current init lists are malformed in
worse ways. If bcpp would indent the data member names, that would be

Changes in the current code are only bad for outstanding patches and
forgotten branches, right? If everybody applies the same formatting to
all their branches and HEAD, we should not have many conflicts, right?
