Here's all I have to say about tabs. I expect the source to look the same no matter whose editor, pager, printer or utility I run it through. Literal tabs violate this. The end.
Here's what I have to say about clever bracing/spacing styles. Your bracing/spacing style should not be a detriment. It should not be a limitation. If common editors have trouble dealing with it, you've just limited your tool set. If programmers outside your project look at it and go "Huh?" you've just lost yourself a potential patch as they recoil. If its so different that looking at other common bracing styles is now odious to you, that's a communication problem. Part of easy communication is taking advantage of common idioms and conventions. Doesn't matter how clever it is, if its causing conflict with outsiders, dump it. -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ Schwern Unit: a positive but insignificant quantity
