Notes on the Phobos style guide

[Andrej Mitrovic]

I think Jonathan was talking about the entire community, not a single
project. It's impossible for all people to accept a unified standard,
everyone has their own style and they'll most probably keep it that way.
What matters is consistency. So if you have a certain way of coding, be
consistent about it throughout your project.
