Michael Breenner says
<<Here is one possible solution to the problem of requiring consistent surface
syntax: Dont. Instead, set a pretty-printer to different parameters (font,
indenting, capitalization, commenting, color, etc.) each time the code is
looked at. This finds problems that may be missed in a consistent syntax
environment. Problems, such as one extra alias of the variable causing
the error, or programs that have too high an opinion of their looks :)>>
Given the smiley at the end it is hard to know if this is a serious suggestion.
If so, it does not work for a number of reasons, and we have a long thread on
this topic only a few months ago, so it is too early to repeat it!
