Clang should be agnostic about formatting as per the syntax definition.

Type: Bug

Using the following indentation generates a clang-tidy warning:
if ()
{ if ( )
{
}
else
{
}
}
The C language syntax is completely agnostic about indentation. Enforcement of a particular coding style does not change the semantics of the execution as long as the syntax is satisfied. Stop trying to enforce a coding style.
