Apologies for the previous message, it got bit by the "." feature.
I find the brace style
foo()
{
foo decls
statements
etc.
}
almost impossible to read. You can't tell where the function begins or ends
without really looking hard at it. If you're scanning a printout (a what?
You know, those paper listings), it takes a lot of effort to find a given
function. I made some minor modifications to make recently, and I had to
run the whole source (which is written in the above style) through a
prettyprinter before I could work on it at all.
