If somebody wrote "for which, see" in a patch I was reviewing, I would definitely complain about it. I wouldn't complain about "which see", but that's mostly because I know Tom likes the expression. As a native English speaker, it sounds basically grammatical to me, but it's an extremely uncommon usage. I prefer to phrase things in ways that are closer to how people actually talk, partly because I know that we do have many people working on the project who are not native speakers of English, and are thus more likely to be tripped up by obscure usages. -- Robert Haas EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
