In defense of the current vtk style (whitesmith) that so many people<br>
hate, according to wikipedia: Whitesmiths along with Allman have been<br>
the most common bracing styles with equal mind shares according to the<br>
Jargon File<br>
<br>
"Whitesmiths along with Allman have been the most common bracing<br>
styles with equal mind shares according to the Jargon File"<br>
and the advantages of Whitesmith are:<br>
<br>
The advantages of this style are similar to those of the Allman style<br>
in that blocks are clearly set apart from control statements. Another<br>
advantage is the alignment of the braces with the block that<br>
emphasizes the fact that the entire block is conceptually (as well as<br>
programmatically) a single compound statement. Furthermore, indenting<br>
the braces emphasizes that they are subordinate to the control<br>
statement. Another advantage of this style is that the ending brace no<br>
longer lines up with the statement, but instead with the opening<br>
brace.<br>
