Tooling has moved on, I'm really not sure this argument is
particularly relevant for a git repository.
If I want to track provenance I'd use git pickaxe or similar.

My OCD does not cover the order of the methods, this may be because I
think most of the applicable standards covering this are just plain
dumb.

I would not be writing this email if I thought it was just a minor few
hiccups. I think it's possible to define a code style for io that
causes a reasonable minimum changeset to the code.
As previously mentioned I really dont care about code style - as I've
grown older I even stopped rampaging against people that use tabs.


So the way I'm reading this I would probably get away by reformatting
the worst offenders, especially if I do not do too many files at once
(evil grin :)
