My style? Not my style, a style.

And there would be no "forced" unless the reference implementation were to error when un-standard styles were used. I see absolutely nothing particularly "un-hackerish" about this. We standardize syntax and keywords, why not syntactical style?

You know what does seem hackerish though? Having tools that do mundane tasks (for example, formatting) for you so that you don't have to. Lisp, and lisp pretty-printers, also strike me as pretty hackerish.
