I think it would be good if we adopted an agreed on code style guide so 
that we can gain some consistency in the code for readability in new 
contributions.

Note that I don't want to become one of those projects that bike-sheds 
every patch on the code style! Which is why I'm calling them 
guides/recommendations.

I've written up some here:

It's by no means complete but would like to get some comments first.
