Well, the coding style you propose isn't exactly the way I do things
(although it's pretty close). For instance, I'm not accustomed to using
a single tab character for indent. Having more experience with X11
internals than Linux, you can see where I would get my four-space indent
habit from. No matter. I can easily adapt.
One thing I wanted to mention, however, is that your tongue-in-cheek
style doesn't help you. Coding style is something that needs to be
taken seriously when you're setting standards.
