In general I think this discussion is devolving into silly bikeshed issues. I find that the stuff being discussed here doesn't have much effect on readability (I can read code in lots of styles) but is annoying to have to remember when writing code. <br>
<br>I'm fully on board with specifying anything that affects the public API. For private implementation details, though, I think inconsistency across modules is the lesser of two evils compared to fighting all these stupid bikeshed wars over what the One True Way will be for Phobos. I think the most important rule is to just be consistent within a module. When maintaining a module written by someone else, try to adapt your style to what you see. When writing a new module, just use common sense and don't do anything horribly unreadable.<br>

I sugest people start using an editor that handles the *'s automatically.<br>

Mine does, but in past discussions people have complained about overly specific requirements for editor capabilities.<br><font color="#888888">
