I know, and I knew pulling a random header is unfair. I just wanted to
illustrate a point.  I think the code style document on the website
needs cleanup and reformatting. I also know most of what Axel is point

I know, these strict guidelines have always been in place for as long as
I can remember (and I *do* think they are positive).  Just gets *really*
frustrating at times :)
