More for the style guide

    Also:

    o What about "!" as an operator?  Should it be followed by a space
      or not?  (IMHO, since it doesn't modify the value the way "++" and
      "--" do, I'm inclined to treat it like other operators and have it
      followed by a space.)  This also applies to any other unary
      operators, such as negation ("a = -foo" or "a = - foo"?).

    o if-then-else blocks are covered, but what about if-then-elseif?
      Should the second if-block be in braces?  On the same line as the
      else?

    o The item from the preceding message about breaking up and
      indenting long expressions is also meant to cover routine
      invocations and declarations that are longer than 80 columns.

Yuck. One-character operators should, IMHO, be stuck to the following
expression.

Yes. Yes. Although there is no "then" in C, AFAIK, so maybe you're
talking about something else.
