What this world needs is a very-much-improved version of SCCS or the like,
that shows each programmer the same source in his own programming style.

Conversions to be implemented:

- indentation styles
- (ab)use of the comma operator
- ......... (your favorite pet peeve here)

Everyone could sit on a desert island, under his own fig tree,
and no comma operator shall make him afraid. :-)
