[cfe-dev] TypePrinter and const Type vs Type const

[Vane, Edwin]

Hi,

Currently, given a type for something like:

const int *i = 0;

the type printer will return something like:

int const*

I'm looking to use the type printer in generating replacements in a clang tool but the resulting output will break most projects' style. So:
1) Would anybody object to a patch on TypePrinter to fix this behaviour, perhaps controlled by a PrintingPolicy flag?
2) Is clang-format going to handle this piece of style one day?
3) If yes to #2 maybe it's not worth the effort to improve TypePrinter?
