adding to emacs coding standard / formatting

[Boruch Baum]

My work apropos the thread " ~Make emacs friendlier: package documentation [POC
CODE INCLUDED]" highlighted to me benefit to proposing to add to the
accepted / suggested / required format of emacs elisp packages.

I had expecting symbol definitions to be grouped together by symbol type
and function, eg. all `defcustom's to be listed together in a section
beginning "^;;; Customization variables:", and so on for symbol
categories ";;; Global variables:", ";;; Buffer-local variables", ";;;
Internal functions:", ";;; Hook functions:", ";;; Interactive
functions:", etc.

That isn't the case in package time.el, so that's probably also the case
in other packages. Should doing so be added to the coding standard?

Also, this is an opportunity to address a pet peeve: I occasionally see
code either defining keybindings to lambda functions, or setting lambda
functions as elements of function lists (eg. lists of hook functions).
I'd like to propose that those uses be banned because of their
difficulty to modify.
