I don't think we shall ever agree on that style! The dangling ( after
Pop is my pet hate, I fear. Customisability is the best bet ..
I wrote a formatter once that allowed you to mingle formatting options
with syntax specifications, but (a) it was written in a special parser
generator which (b) targetted VMS LIB$TPARSE and (c) required
single-trackability in the grammar+options (not sure of the technical
term for that). The grammar part would have been OK, I think, but the
options were the killer .. perhaps there are programming systems in
which this sort of thing would be simple?
