Define _trivial_ and define obvious.
Here you've multiple situations of initial line spacing
not using tabs, odd use of parentheses in the original
style, compressed logical tests or assigns, etc.
All trivially fixable, but not necessarily correct to do
in a single pass.
If you do them in a single pass, you run into your "do too
much in a single patch" argument.
