There are no formal rules that I'm aware of (unless somebody added them to 
the wiki) but the (frontend) code is fairly consistent.

The C-ish style is mostly due to age and Walter's preferences.  This has 
turned out to be a huge advantage as it makes conversion to D much easier 
than C++-style code with heavy stl usage etc.
