That's fine, but then Emacs edits those all away, I think. Anyway, I
don't plan on using CTRL-SHIFT-F. I'm learning fast, I think, what the
desired coding conventions are here, but it's open source, it's had
how many contributors? It's not perfectly formatted to start with. I
can show you 215 places in the code where "!" is not followed by a
blank and 213 places where it is. Is it worth it to go through and
change all those?
Some alignments also may be better when using human judgement. For
example, most of the time aligning '=' signs in several consecutive
assignements can be nice some time and can be wong other times.
There are other examples, it's just my opinion that following rules
won't be as good as human judgement.
OK, this is just style. You are suggesting a personal style. I'm not
sure Miguel is up for that. I'm comfortable if it generally looks neat
and I can follow the indents. Most of what you have there is very
subtle -- groupings that "make sense" for example, maybe to you....
Miguel is going to use Emacs. I'm happy with trying my hardest to get
it right, as long as Miguel is happy periodically having to clean it
up. Obviously we don't want Emacs/Eclipse going back and forth
"fixing" the code.
I'll be the first to admit I was sloppy. Especially minding the
80-character business. I can do better.
