Hi Xavier,

Hrm ... sorry - doing my merge checks a few more issues came up.

Could you add the checkstyle script as a post-commit hook please?

  cp utils/hooks/post-commit .git/hooks/post-commit

Then you'll see these warnings yourself as you develop.

I think that one was pre-existing. We could 
 A) Ignore it, as this is just a code move
 B) Fix it before moving it
 C) Fix it after moving it.

This one is a blocker to merge. We must keep the headers tracked in
meson, as that's how compile time dependencies are handled.

That one looks trivial.

This looks like clang-format moving the line, but checkstyle not quite
realising where it went...

You can run clang-format directly to see what it did I think.

With those and the clang-11 ; issue I think we can merge this series.
