Hi Tony

Here is the file containing code formatting settings that I use.

No, not really. The only hard requirement is the use of spaces instead
of tabs and indentation with 4 spaces.

Historically there used to be too many developers with completely
different tastes for the code formatting standards, so any attempt at
coming up with a common policy could easily escalate into a full scale
'food fight'. I personally have fairly bizarre preferences for code
formatting and therefore do not find it possible to impose them onto
other fellow human beings.

We could try, though, given the fact that the code base is becoming
stable and major cross cutting changes are unlikely.
