Btw, you'd be surprised how unsurprising things can be surprising. I caught myself "discovering" quite recently a common coding style rule that I used most of the time unconsciously but forgot from time to time. Now that's it's consciously set in my mind, I use it consistently or, if I break it, I must have a good reason to do so and be ready to make it a rule too, not just be lazy. (the rule is "always put spaces around operators" in infix languages, but that's not the point.) Laurent
