We published this blog post about how we're using it: https://blog.clamav.net/2019/02/clamav-adopts-clang-format.html  One of the things I called out in the blog post is that we really want this feature, and presently we have to use the "// clang-format on/off" markers throughout our code mostly to keep our consecutive macros aligned.

For those wishing to test the effectiveness of unlanded revisions like this and to reduce the amount of time between Windows snapshot builds (https://llvm.org/builds/), I have forked llvm-project and using AppVeyor  to build a new x64 Windows clang-format-experimental.exe binary, on a semi-automatic basis. (master branch clang-format with selected unlanded revisions)

When a revision like this meets excessive delay in the review cycle, feel free to log a github issue, Early testing of unlanded features may help to prove the usefulness of a revision, provide useful review comments and/or help find bugs earlier in the development cycle.
