I am against editing legacy code to s/#t/#true/ and s/#f/#false/ For those who need it, why not an emacs mode to view whatever beautification they like? Or a separate canonicalizer/prettyprinter filter that you could invoke by command line or from any editor that can pipe thhrough filters? ISTM any any editing of signed-off sources creates quality/security-control work for developers who are too valuable to waste their time on non-fun. Delegating such simple changes to newbie contributors doesn't avoid the oversight work and potential security risk: a "whoops, that better be reverted" may open a door just long enough for some exploitation -- or at least require the conscientious to think about whether the whoops really could have been exploitable somehow. I see a waste of developer time, that can be much better used. My 2¢ :) -- Regards, Bengt Richter
