Interesting.

I measured some development branch (targeting `*.c`, `*.cc`, `*.cpp` and `*.h`):

| Program   | prefix: 8 spaces | prefix: 1 tab | 8sp percentage |
| Coreutils | 23494            | 461           | 98.08%         |
| Binutils  | 128781           | 745992        | 14.72%         |
| GCC       | 155080           | 1156554             | 11.82%         |
|

That's completely different from Coreutils (and that's why I submitted this patch because I'm a Binutils contributor).

Yes, there's definitely a reason to keep this style in clang-format. In this case, following .clang-format file will work:

  BasedOnStyle: GNU
  UseTab: ForContinuationAndIndentation

or following style setting on Visual Studio Code (not as JSON but a string):

  { BasedOnStyle: GNU, UseTab: ForContinuationAndIndentation }
