Well, apart from (now) using spaces instead of tabs and maybe always put
braces (the '{' and '}' chars) always on a separate line, I don't care
what style people use here.
In my opinion having a too strict style spec is just annoying and adds
another wall new devs will have to get over before they join the project.
