        <pre>Input:

#define _PRIVATE private
class x {
public:
  int y;

_PRIVATE:
  int z;
};


Bad output:

#define _PRIVATE private
class x {
public:
  int y;

  _PRIVATE : int z;
};

Desired output to treat a 'private' expanded from a macro the same as a bare
'private', i.e.

#define _PRIVATE private
class x {
public:
  int y;

_PRIVATE:
  int z;
};

The use case is "developers who need to be able to build a codebase with
private changed to public sometimes, and use a preprocessor definition to do
the dirty deed".

The codebase in question is 322KLOC, and this is the only showstopper for
using clang-format as the automated formatter for every commit.

Tested with 
clang-format version 3.8.0-2ubuntu4 (the default clang-format on ubuntu 16.04)</pre>
