I think this problem is generated due to a lack of an official
coding style/guideline <= correct me if i'm wrong...=P
in example, under bsd, we have a man page dedicated only to
the coding guidelines, and it helps to prevent such problem
i know that there's a guideline borrowed from the opentracker
project, but it seems it's not enough.... =P
maybe it's time for a review of it? maybe it's time for an RFC?
an article?
just my .00000000002 cent =)
