Yep, that's the name of the code-style game; you'll never find
something everybody loves, so settle for something everybody can live
with   8-}.  And I think I can live with that one.

In a little trial of its consistency, I used it to reformat and commit
(in scratch locations of course) separately both trunk and your ewmh
branch, and then tried merging them.  It did wind up having a moderate
number of conflicts in the merge, but in a quick look at them they did
seem moderately non-spurious.  That is, they were all at least in code
that had legitimately changed between the branches, though they
wouldn't have conflicted sans the reformatting.  Most of them ended up
being one-sided, which is a little odd.  Without being familiar with
the changes, they were mostly pretty easy to figure out the resolution
of.

So, for simplicity we'd still want to minimize outstanding stuff
before yanking the lever, but it doesn't immediately seem to below
things up too hard.
