Good lord, and you would dream this up and use it before just using the same coding style as the rest of us? :)
Maybe I am biased because I find CodingStyle beautiful, but I can't understand why it is so hard to just play nicely with the rest of us. I diffed a patch for Alan against mtrr.c a week or so back to fix some compile bug, and I was confused doing a _two line_ diff.
