Just to head off potential formatting/code style issues... (And this is 
*not* directed at anyone in particular)

I realize that no matter what style we choose, there will be a good crop of 
people who won't be thrilled with it. (For the record, we can count me as 
one, if that makes anyone feel any better :) That's inevitable. Maintaining 
a consistent style gives a big enough benefit that it's worth the potential 
discomfort it might cause individuals.
