Heh. Since it's my code being used as the example here: I also find it very ugly FWIW. I only added the underscores because that's what the conventions said. But we're never going to get consensus on this kind of thing. E.g. I know some people really hate the GNU formatting style (although I very much like it). So I just held my nose while writing the patch. Thanks, Richard
