Would people be annoyed if I did stuff like standardize our copyright headers? Should be the same and the very first thing in the file.
I am picky because I take a view on code quality like the New York Police Department's 'broken windows' theory - you clean up petty crime in an area and it actually discourages larger crime. Likewise you get the small stuff right and people worry about getting bigger stuff right - but if minor stuff isn't clean and consistent then we don't feel so bad about hacks and ugly stuff. Hence my ongoing campaign to tweak and tidy according to a logic and set of standards that I hope we share. (Still a lot of little boxing/unboxing issues for example! I think objects are way overused for code that is supposed to be performance-conscious. Primitives should always be your default.)
