I don't think that a vote is appropriate here. IMHO, the better way is  
allow to use different code conventions. Yes it leads to styles mixture  
(like in C++ when a project uses Qt+ACE+boost), but C++ show that it isn't  
a big problem. It is not a good idea to mix different styles in some kind  
of projects, like reusable libraries (for example it is bad idea to add  
new code to Tango in a different style). But when I wrote my own project  
with Tango I want to use my own code convention.

AFAIK, 'int' is not a class, so it isn't a problem :)
