Yo All!

A lot of changes like this in recent git commit:
        5b4af8cc002773058ad744f9c2f9975284b09224

        TS_SUB( &timedelta, &drift.clock, &drift.real);
         if ( 86400 < (long)labs(timedelta.tv_sec) ) {

            (void)mvwprintw(ppswin, 1, 13, "> 1 day");
         } else {
+           char buf2[22];
            (void)timespec_str( &timedelta, buf2, sizeof(buf2) );
            (void)mvwprintw(ppswin, 1, 13, "%s", buf2);
         }

This is actually my preferred style of coding: to keep local variables
as local as possible.

But, when I have done this in the past, following commits have hoisted
the variable declarations to the top of the function.

Is this now an official style change?  I would prefer it that way.  If
so can it be made official somewhere so things don't move back and
forth.

Or, bigger picture, maybe a real style guide?
