Hmm, quite possible. I don't know where the proponents of this scheme
came from (it was developed 5-10 years ago), but given that we are in
Syndey that is quite possible. I think UniTas seemed to have a fairly

style, or perhaps K&R.

The same dealing with hardware sometimes.
You know,
reg =
(
(field1 << REG_FIELD1_SHFT)
|
(field2 << REG_FIELD2_SHFT)

(field3 << REG_FIELD3_SHFT)
);
Names changed to protect the innocent (and my job).
