    ...And which is even worse, the source code itself becomes a
    battleground for the two uncompromising sides. We have bloodstained
    src/ spots in plenty. Perhaps we need a law to stop the bloodshed,
    like it was in the Wild West? :-) It's becoming hard to find a
    scoped variable definition in some source files. And currently I
    cannot see a paragraph in style(9) on where local vars should be
    defined. Am I getting blind?
