The insinct for letting people write code the way the prefer is highly 
admirable but when we are talking about library code that everyone's 
apps depend on,  I do think basic standards need to be established and 
adhered to.

Probably the easiest way is through emacs and vim mode lines (I think 
vim respects emacs style mode lines so there may only need to be the 
one type).

However,  an alternative might be to create some sort of source code 
filter that will try and impose the desired style on people's 
submitted patches.

I can't really contribute more to this discussion because I will be 
more a user of these classes than a contributor but I still vote for 
consistency of style because it will make debuging and future 
development much easier.
