Be that as it may, I don't think such changes have any benefit. We don't
follow a beauty contest, content is more important as the amount of whitespace,
comment or indentation style and so on. Changes of functionality may include
such
superficial modifications but once we start with purely syntactic modifications
for their own sake, we will end up with style guides, which is something I
don't want.
