And it also has (well, had last time I came in contact) an
idiosyncratic view of how code should be formatted. Made it a total
pain to use for development under any sort of source code control
system, I thought ..

.. though perhaps I was just put off by the fact that my work was done
in emacs, and a potential co-worker used GRASP. It was quite
impossible to see where his changes were.

Do you find the CSDs useful? I recently wrote a 200 line procedure
with no LOOPs, two IFs and a CASE (since removed into a dispatching
operation). The loops went into closed iterators -- so they were
_there_, of course, just not at the application level.
