I think we should do more than encourage: we should back out for all style

Is this a guide or a rule?
From my point of view, this is a guide, which is here to say: “This is what
is commonly accepted”.
The root of the problem is that some people might make changes which are
unreadable. And having a convention to define a common grammar is good for
readability. This is what a guide is all about, a grammar.
Now, a few times, breaking the rule to introduce idioms which are locally
acceptable *for the sake of readability*, and might not necessary fit in the
style guide.
Would a grammar checker accept all the ASCII arts in comments?
This is my last words on this topics, too much bytes have been wasted on
this topic already.
