But as long as FPC is in the hands of the current team (and I hope that 
this will last for a long time ^^) we have to obey their coding style if 
we want our code in the compiler. I'm not a fan of the style either, but 
I adhere to it.
Look at it as a sign of good will: you show that you really mean it by 
acknowledging the standards and then you might be treated better. :)

Regards,
Sven
