How can I tell clang-format to indent visibility modifiers?

Question

I want my visibility modifiers (public, protected and private) to be indented by clang-format who currently leaves them at the same level as the class declaration. I've looked for indent and visibility on a dump of the default format options but couldn't find anything.

So, add the appropriate entry to your .clang-format. For example,

AccessModifierOffset: 2
