I also liked Prashanth's suggestion of standardizing a few other aspects of
style.
One option would be to just adopt an existing style guide off the shelf.
There is one from twitter and a few other places. I think that might be an
easy way to go. We could use whatever whitespace style they have.
If we want to do a custom style guide then I guess we should just file a
JIRA to improve the existing style guidelines and try to get consensus on
various aspects.
