However, some of the prescriptionism in these various style guides that a writer or journalist might ordinarily complain about is actually a good idea for open-source documentation writing, because it enforces consistency. For similar reasons we have commenting and indentation and portability conventions, even though purists might complain about "35 years of stupid C code". ;-) -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
