    <p>Sorry, I didn't mean to post my reply to the core list.</p>
    <p>----<br>

    <p>I do like things to be documented so there's no guesswork with
      that.  Admittedly some of the standards seem to be more designed
      for projects written in C and C++, like identifiers all being in
      lowercase, whereas Pascal, or at least Delphi, traditionally had
      the start of every word capitalised (e.g. TCriticalSection instead
      of tcriticalsection).</p>
    <p>I do put spaces before and after operators (e.g. "X := 5" instead
      of "X:=5") because that is how I started my life as a Turbo Pascal
      and Delphi 2.0 programmer, but if the compiler coding standards
      tell me otherwise, then I'll do the no-space style.</p>
    <p>Personally I would say that the most readable styles should be
      championed, but that's just me.</p>

              Yeah, coding standards are kind of non-<br>
              existent for the compiler. Things like <br>
              spaces before and after operators, how <br>
              variables are named and indentations etc <br>
