Point taken :P I knew that was coming, but I didn't think about it |
| 20 |
when I wrote that. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Personally, I would support any policy as to avoid different people |
| 23 |
putting different meanings into the orders, especially if there are |
| 24 |
groups of people who believe that everyone should do it their way |
| 25 |
(maybe everyone should). I also think things like information |
| 26 |
pertaining to developer platforms shouldn't be put into variable |
| 27 |
ordering. When I write software I don't expect people to understand |
| 28 |
intricacies of my design decisions and requirements from the order I |
| 29 |
call functions or the order I give to my parameter assignments, |
| 30 |
despite some rule of thumb I or others believe is the right way. Not |
| 31 |
everyone thinks like me, and that's what comments and external |
| 32 |
documentation are for. |
