One problem though - my format is very readable to me, but I might not
be able to read yours easily (and vice versa, of course).  As a result I
don't want to maintain your code (again, vice versa too - and I am speaking
generically as a rhetorical device).  For instance, I CANNOT, without great
effort, read code in the white book style.  My style is a remnant of my
ALGOL days is why.
