I agree over the importance of \*consistency\* of coding style.

Let's agree to disagree over which in particular is the One True Style  
and please leave it at that.

I have no problem with that and I apologize if I came across as trying to  
"suggest policy" to the Bro development team. I merely wanted to point out  
that my reasons come from long, hard-won experience.

As long as a (security tool, in particular) project has a style and enforces  
it, that's what matters. Consistency makes everyone's life much easier when  
they go through the code.
