STYLE(9) In-Reply-To: <199901280600.RAA07941@cimlogic.com.au> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I think that style(9) should be modified to include "Parenthesis may be used to improve the readbility of complex expressions even if not strictly required." instead of the stupid phrase presently there. also: "Braces around code blocks should be allowable even when not strictly needed, for the purpose of readbility." The aim is to produce readble maintainable code, not to save bytes in sourcecode! julian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
