I seem to have a bigger problem with what you do and how you do it.

Why the uncalled-for stylistic changes that deviates from LyX practice?


There is not a single precedence in src/* unless 

  grep -R '^namespace ' | grep -v = | grep -v '{'

lies to me.


As long as such "accidents" happen I certainly would prefer if you post
your patches to list and let a few hours pass before committing them.
The fact that a few people commit first and discuss later (if at all)
does not necessarily mean everybody is entitled to do so.
