Oh dear, not again.  You know, just a few hours ago I was thinking
that it was time for the six-monthly pointless flamewar "the
developers don't care about the users and write bad documentation"
(and/or "you should make a wiki").

I guess we're headed for a "code standards" one instead.  See
here:

Fun fact: if we take the emacs standard, our code differs from
"the standard" by something like 600kb of diffs.  If we take
fixcc.py (in scripts/somewhere/ ) as the standard, then we still
differ by over 100kb of diffs.

It isn't.
