Ok for a FIXME.
I'd prefer creating a new patch for this, as this can have wider repercussions, not only on clang-tidy.

I think, the check should try to keep the trailing comment next to the statement it belongs to. I'm not sure if there can be a 100% fool-proof solution, but I hope, we can come up with a decent heuristic.

Looks like a plan!
1. is trivial (already done), 2. and 3. should be quite easy too.
In 3. I would leave indentation to clang-format, anyway one should run it after using clang-tidy.

Is there any easy way of checking if a block-comment spans over multiple lines?
