Is this formatting that clang-format generates?

I still think that a user explicitly writing 'extern' is expecting external
linkage and all that goes along with it.
================
Comment at: test/clang-tidy/google-global-names.cpp:18
+extern "C" void g();
+extern "C" void h() {}

Can you also add a test:
```
extern "C++" void h2() {}
```
I believe this will diagnose, but whether it should diagnose or not, I'm less
certain of.
