clang-format has a pretty extensive set: 
http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormatStyleOptions.html

I don't think all of that is necessary however. When I started 
using clang-format I just looked at the predefined styles (LLVM, 
Google, Chromium, Mozilla, Webkit) and picked the one I liked the 
most and didn't stress the details. I guess what I'm saying is 
I'd like a bunch of predefined styles. I don't want to wade 
through 50 options to make my own style.

dfmt would, of course, need to support expressing all the 
predefined styles and all of those differences should have 
options.
