      The current Clang-Format does not allow users to choose how they many blank lines after a new block to leave. It strips all blank lines.

      This is controlled by KeepEmptyLinesAtTheStartOfBlocks.

      Users would like to be able to write something like this

      void foo() {

    // do nothing
}

      or

      if (true) {

    // do nothing
}

      Today, both look like this

      if (true) {
    // do nothing
}
