The cost is financial, as it's developer time, which costs real money to 
companies. In the end, to support this, people like myself who are doing this 
as part of their job spend time that they'd otherwise spend to make other 
things better that might be more important. To make cost not an issue we'd need 
to change clang-format to make changes like this significantly simpler to 
review & maintain. I'll add a code comment in a moment, given that this is 
probably something that we'll allow given it fulfills the criteria we've set 
ourselves.
