And that is where we disagree.  Style is religion, and one man's 'too
much' is another's 'too little'.  Obviously what you think is a minimum
is different than what I think from the conversation, so is your way
'more right' than me.  Because 'consistency' is the most import
'readability' factor in source code (MHO), keeping it consistant is most
important in large software projects.  I've seen what happens when
everyone uses their own style, and it doesn't work.

By making it obvious (as Style does) where the line is, there is no room
for ambiguity.
