\OK, just what does the 'One True Brace Style' look like?  Is there
\a formal specification for OTBS?  And was it included in ANSI C?
\(No really, I'm serious, inquiring minds want to know!)

Sadly there's no formal specification, but every C programmer should take a
GOOD look at K&R's coding style; weren't K&R the inventors of C? Shouldn't
they know what C code should look like? I'm inclined to say: if you don't
like their style, you don't understand what C's all about...
To descend from the level of the gods (for a short while :-) I confess I also
didn't like the OTBS, *AT THE BEGINNING*! (My first language was Pascal.)
