Does anyone have a good idea about modelines at the tops of files?  That 
page ought really to cover them, but it doesn't mention them.  We have a 
bug open about it (<http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358866>) 
in Metacity.

If you're using an 8-char indent with GNU style, does that mean you go

 if (something)
 <--eight-->{
 <--eight--><--eight-->printf("I like cheese\n");

or is the indent four in that case?

I actually prefer an 8-character indent, but Metacity uses two 
throughout, and it's a bit late to change.  I wish source control worked 
on the basis of tokens rather than lines, as though we were still on 
punched cards, so it wouldn't matter if you reformatted a block.
