OK.  Could you please submit a patch for this?  :-)

One other thing: there doesn't seem to be a mechanism for dumping out a
guessed style so that it can be used in a future Emacs session.
Something like M-x c-dump-guessed-style which would print out the style
a bit like c-submit-but-report (C-c C-b) dumps the entire configuration.
Do you think something like this is needed?
