Review my patches over the last two years, and you'll see I am. But if noone
objects, one might get the impression that all agree. Well, I don't, but I not
only /have to/ work with others, I also *want* to work with others and do not
want to quarrel about a space or two. Let's get the ball rolling ...
I've also been involved with patches to GNU programs, and I presume many of you
also have. I've also talked to people that *refuse* to submit their code to GNU,
cause they make you commit to their horrible format.
Point made. Ignore me ...
