"style" yes. "house style" no. I don't especially care whether a group
prefers 4 character indents, 8 character indents,
if(foo) {
}
or
if(foo)
{
}
That's what the tools are for. Those are all religious issues that I'm
not interested in.
Not having to worry about those because the tools deal with them means
I can worry about how best to express what I'm trying to achieve in the
code (a) to whoever maintains it after me, and (b) to the machine that's
going to be executing it.
