Everything tedu said. I'll add that it's more important to understand
why style(9) says what it says than to blindly obey it. The goal being
to write in a clean, understandable, and consistent manner. If you break
a style(9) rule because it makes the code more readable then you are not
wrong.

little statesmen and philosophers and divines."
