I also checked what will happen if I try replace the entire namespace with `namespace {}` and it is not getting inserted but simply deleted. On the other hand, I if replace with `namespace {;}`, I see the expected output. So, either it is really sneaky off-by-one somewhere, or clang does it's own thing.

I dropped the "support" for removing. However, empty namespaces are still being removed implicitly, by a fixit applying tool, I believe.

I added entries to the test to make sure preprocessor stuff is never removed.
