*IF* we decide to adopt a strict policy (and I'm not taking or stating an
opinion either way), in addition to updating the wiki pages discussing the
style guide:

- Would it be possible to add "vim:" and "emacs:" lines at the top of every
  file to help enforce the policy? I think it would make it easier for people
  to follow any such style guide with less effort.

- Also, could the new patchtest analyzer be recruited to help enforce a guide?
