I sense you are about to get on a hobbyhorse about languages and
readability. It wasn't much worse than some postings to source
newsgroups. The point was that I was doing to make some significant
hacks to the code and I decided that if it was going to be revamped I
might at least have a standard indentation style to make MY life
easier.

The generalization based on a sample of two is not justified.
