I believe this religious indentation war has gone on quite long enough.
Indentation is a matter of personal taste and opinion.  However, you
must be able to adapt to and tolerate other styles, unless you want to
spend much of your time reformatting someone else's code and/or
reinventing the wheel.  Despite the fact that I am not of oriental
ancestry and do not speak or read any oriental languages, I find the
following styles more intuitive and probably practiced by more programmers:

/name {
} def

or

/name
{
} def

But remember, "Opinions (read: coding styles) are like *ssholes:
everyone's got one, and every one else's stinks".
