Which also makes references to K&R style very unclear.

I looked in the book and K&R do not always use spaces on each side of a
mathematical operator. Just like me the avoid spaces in some cases which
enhances readability. I suggest we do not force this.

How important style is depends on the user. For some it is very
important.

I prefer the brace style version of K&R called 1TBS ("The One True Brace
Style") as it is very consistent, very easy to insert/remove lines and
easy to read. I suggest we do not force this.
