Is there an ident style for (x)emacs to enforce/promote this style? A set of macros for the *macs family that conforms to whatever style(9) is for that day would be pretty neat. I don't know about coral et. al or about how extensible they are but, gurus for those other editors could also contribute configs for a port?
