I wanted to include this additional bit of info from Paul on the
list, but I didn't feel it belonged in the initial post.
Paul linked me to:
https://github.com/basho/riak_test/blob/master/src/rt.erl#L587-L597
as something he finds an egregious example of paren-style indenting
being a huge waste of space (and easily exceeding 80 columns).
He offered two solutions to this. The first retains the fun(_) definition
inline, but indents the body a further 4 spaces from the ?assertEqual
definition. The latter, which I think most of us could agree on, goes
so far as to pull the anonymous function out into its own assignment,
then uses that to compactify the code.

Hopefully this is a good discussion point for the impending paren vs.
4-space debate.
