Thanks for the proposals Marc, the list looks good to me.

As for

I was wondering what cppreference suggests, and was delighted to find that the first few lines of

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/unique_ptr

manage to have both :) So accepting either, and in particular the no-space form that comes out of _clang-format, is fine.


Encoding this in the sanity bot and/or in _clang-format avoids that we waste time on this during code review.
