OK, I give up.  I can't stand grading the undergraduates' programs
anymore.  Can anyone suggest good comprehensive style guides for
Common Lisp (or older versions of Lisp) as well as Prolog that I can
just pick up and refer to or is this such a religous issue I'll have
to make one up?  A good C style guide I've seen included points about
documentation, format, naming, syntactic conventions, and semantic
considerations.  I also vaguely remember there being a more generic
guide on programming style akin to Strunk & White's for English.

Thanks for your help ...
