It's better to handle all of those in the same place and transparently rather than have every check with a fixit manually handle formatting. Additionally, this means we can go back to the source as infrequently as possible.
I ran strace -c on clang-tidy on several real world source files that modernize-use-auto warns about before and after this change and the counts for read, write, stat, open, close, openat and fstat syscalls were all unchanged.
The expense is exactly zero.
It will still be zero when multiplied by many checks.
There is no performance issue here.
Do you have any other issues with this change?
