Man, this has an Objective-C section too.  Sadly, it turns out that the exact 
stuff I just did (pad method prefix).

In case this might help out anyone else, here's a spacing option I found in in 
AStyle that seems to address my issue.

--pad-oper / -p 
Insert space padding around operators

if (foo==2)
    a=bar((b-c)*a,d--);
becomes:

if (foo == 2)
    a = bar((b - c) * a, d--);
