Yeah, I hate it when Eclipse starts to put my case statements on the wrong  
indentation level. That supports the theory that programmers often tend to  
have a little trace of authism in their personality. Sometimes small  
details can drive me mad and I spend lots of time formatting console  
output so that it lines up neatly or stuff like that.

Another thing about Stdout debugging: it's nice to define an alias for  
Stdout in a debug { } block and use that alias for debug messages,  
preferably in a module that's used everywhere in a project. I do that  
since once, back in my C++ days, one of my "in here" couts went into  
production - the alias prevents that.
