Yes-ish.  We are discussing which program we will use for code
formatting, and the style will therefore be defined as the output
of whichever program we choose.

I would say "vaguely similar".  Some programs have bugs.  We may
use more than one program (for example fixcc.py) for the
formatting, and any one of those programs may have bugs.  etc.

The difference between output of astyle and fixcc is 778Kb, and is
23173 lines long.
