Hey,
Before I begin:
*PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS AS AN EXCUSE TO START A FLAMEWAR ON CODING STYLE ON
THE LIST. THAT ISN'T MY INTENTION HERE*
I've tried to mostly conform to these guidelines when writing my wordperfect
importer. However, I really strongly take exception to using Hungarian
notation in my code. Is this really a necessary part of the guidelines? I
notice that most of the new code in the importer/exporter directory doesn't
even use it. Perhaps it's time to take it out of the guidelines for new
submissions?
Note: I'm not necessarily proposing that we rewrite all of abi's source to
not have hungarian..
