<p>----<br>
</p>
<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>
seem to vary wildly. I don't want to <br>
enforce my own standards though without a <br>
