There is always flexibility, by turning off the formatter for a given 
block and formatting manually.

However, 'looks like garbage' is subjective. For instance I think 
anything that uses the D style guidelines is inherently garbage. But yet 
I am still forced to write code that way if I want to contribute.

It is a choice, you either value peoples contributions more than you do 
what style they wrote it in, or you value the ability to nitpick it. As 
far as I'm concerned we need to value contributions significantly more 
and that includes making the CI not fail over something it can correct.
