Imported from Basser Department of Computer Science, University of Sydney?
Piers Lauder was mad keen on this diabolical but extremely logical indenting
scheme.

Example:

	if
	(
		(id->id_type == NULL)
		||
		(
			(id->id_type->x_what == xt_arrayof)
			&&
			(item->x_left->x_what == xt_arrayof)
			&&
			(id->id_type->x_subtype == item->x_left->x_subtype)
			&&
			(id->id_type->x_flags & XIS_DIMLESS)
		)
	)
	...

Try that one any other way. :-)

Stephen.
