Yeah, yeah - I know you think my methods are too long. ;-) But in
this context, "long" means "anything more than 3 or 4 lines".
You may disagree, but I find that a single return value does improve
readability.

I thought Todd had checked in an eclipse-formatter file? I can't
seem to
find it in SVN right now.
It was moved to the new /project branch Todd created (it used to be
in a
/project sub-directory of /trunk):
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/pivot/project/pivot_style.xml
It is also in the Wiki:

Cool, I'm happy to follow the pivot-style, although I disagree with
the
Pascal-style single-return-from-routine theory.
I'm in the linux-kernel-style multiple-return early-exit camp :-)
Though I generally don't use the style myself, I do think multiple
returns
are OK for trivial methods. However, I think it has a negative
effect on
readability for longer methods.
