Hi guys,

about a year ago we (i.e. the main Vienna* developers) had a discussion 
regarding a common coding style. Finally, everything is available online 
on a wiki page:
  http://viennastar.iue.tuwien.ac.at/wiki/doku.php?id=codingstyle

Philippe and I will go through the code base in the next couple of days 
and unify things as much as possible (and reasonable), touching a lot of 
code lines. One thing that is not yet specified (and which should 
probably be decided on a per-project basis) is the handling of 
namespaces. My personal preference is indenting:

namespace viennacl
{
   namespace linalg
   {
     ...
   }
}

whereas the non-indented alternatives, e.g.:

namespace viennacl {
namespace linalg {
     ...
}
}

also have their advantages. Still, the indented version is the one which 
is most consistent with the indenting of classes, functions, etc. 
Although it potentially leads to larger commits if a function is moved 
in or out of a nested namespace, I'm still in very mild favor of 
indenting, because I can quickly get an overview of the level of 
nestedness when scrolling over the code.

@all, but mostly @Philippe: what are your thoughts?

Best regards,
Karli
