Yes, please don't ever do that. At the very best it's an eyesore. At the worst it's a typical Richard Stallman misfeature. And pity the poor programmer who happens to submit a patch containing such magic when AKPM rains thunderbolts down from heaven to correct the error. (Andrew sustains an incoming patch load 2 orders of magnitude higher than I ever had to and it drove me crazy, by all means cater to his wishes).
