This has been discussed many times. It is more logical to do "char*
variable", since "variable" is the name and "char*" is the type. We all
know about the case you point out, but this listing of variable names is
forbidden in our coding style anyways. You have to do this:
char* variable1;
char variable2;

I will be able to live with it. It is what I used to do before I saw Marcus
doing the ", fMyMember(...)" thing, which I since find more practical and
less likely to cause compile time errors when I rearrange stuff. It also
looks better in diffs. But what the heck... if it means so much to Axel...
