I could offer lines 50-62 in 

https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git/tree/src/plugins/beautifier/generalsettings.cpp

for production code. That's the "General" page in the "Beautifier" section of
Qt Creator's settings dialog.

For a somewhat unrealistic and artifcial example perhaps also

https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git/tree/tests/manual/layoutbuilder/demo/main.cpp

Note that the point here is the "developer facing" "frontend", not the current
implementation, which is limited to the single artificial use case there.

I don't think that's worthwhile. The whole thing is basically just syntactic
sugar around calling a few setters.
