I do have a general question/thought/rumination here, though. Shouldn't the paren-style and the line length of libstdc++ be mainly decided by those who develop and maintain it? It's already not written in the same style as gcc is, so tweaking that different style to better suit the need of a template-heavy C++ library perhaps should be more or less a slam dunk? :) Despite my sizable contributions to libstd++, I don't have a particularly strong opinion here. Except that, my somewhat strong opinion is "let's give Jonathan what he wants, because it helps his work". ;)
