Right now I'm working on a patch to translate all function names to 
single letters seperated by underscores.  I'll provide a table, of 
course, for you to look up old function names during the transition.  So 
ast_start_moh() will become a_s_m() and ast_stop_moh() -> a_s1_m(), etc.

If only we had a CODING-GUIDELINES document that gave us a standard, 
like say:
If statements:
if (foo) {
        bar();
} else {
        blah();
}

Maybe somebody could come up with arguments for indent(1L) that we could 
use?  Wouldn't that be helpful...
