Eh, the clang format tags are ugly for this use case.  If using CommentPragmas
doesn't already handle this case, I'd rather add a new option to clang-format
to disable reflowing comments when this is present.  We already have this
widely used throughout the tree, and it would better to fix the tool than
gratuitous churn.  We probably clear clang-format's bar of being a project of
a sufficient size that they will accept patches from us for new formatting
options.
