I did not say this explicitly (although I probably should have), but I did
_not_ want to weigh in in favor of code reformatting. In fact I'm
completely neutral towards it outside of DOCS/. I just wanted to show that
it can make sense at least in some special cases and I felt that evil was
hiding a few sensible points under clumsy analogies that are worth
_discussing_. I will not (nor am I even interested in) vote on the issue
outside of DOCS/.
I guess that needed to be clarified.
