[go-nuts] A modest format suggestion

[Scott Deerwester]

I greatly appreciate the fact that Go has a coding standard. I have a 
modest proposed modification. Instead of this:

    // Great is a really great function.
    func Great(
        anArg int, // This explains anArg
        anotherArg string, // This explains anotherArg
    ) (err error) {
    ...

I'd think that this:

    // Great is a really great function.
    func Great(
        anArg      int,    // This explains anArg
        anotherArg string, // This explains anotherArg
    ) (err error) {
    ...


would be both clearer and more consistent with this:

    var (
        aVar       = 12          // This explains aVar
        anotherVar = "something" // This explains anotherVar
    )


or this:

    type SomeStruct struct {
        FieldName string
        Value     int
    }


    var aStructList = []*SomeStruct {
        {
            FieldName: "SomeName", // Comment for FieldName
            Value:     12,         // Comment for Value
        },
    }

which are already part of the standard coding style. Is this the right 
place to make such a proposal?
