Yeah, obviously but it's not "Standard". If I do that next thing will be "but I think we should change indent option X because it's better that way".

In the long run it would probably be a good thing but I'm not sure I'm ready to go through the massive flamewar that would be at first.

In the end I wouldn't mind this being handled at "language" level. Maybe even a flag in GCC that would warn/error on a coding style error. It would save everybody time, resources and probably a few friendships along the way.



It is a standard for the specific project.

Just a decision, like many other, that take place at the beginning of a project.
