0. Braces are mandatory for all control flow, as it improves the visibility of
   scope.
1. Nested indentation should be kept to a minimum.
2. Empty lines should be placed between different kinds of statements:

	int t;

	assert(io->bufuse > 0);
	assert(io->bufuse <= io->bs);

	if ((t = write(io->fd, io->buf, io->bufuse)) < 0) {
		io->error = errno;
		t = 0;
	} else if (t > 0) {
		memmove(io->buf, &(io->buf)[t], (io->bufuse -= t));
	}

	io->bytes += t;
	io->prec  += (t > 0 && io->bufuse > 0);
	io->rec   += (t > 0 && io->bufuse == 0);

	return io;

3. Each block of code should be indented once more than the keyword which
   initiated the block:

	switch (c) {
		case 'e': mode |= EQUAL;   break;
		case 'g': mode |= GREATER; break;
		case 'l': mode |= LESS;    break;
		default:  return usage(s);
	}

4. In C, spaces should be placed in control flow statements after the keyword
   and before the opening brace:

	for (i = 2; i < argc; ++i) {

5. If a function, a C control flow statement, or a Rust macro has arguments that
   cause the statement to be broken into multiple lines, this should be done by
   placing the arguments on a new line inside the parentheses: 

	let usage = format!(
		"Usage: {} [-d delimiter] index command [args...]",
		argv[0],
	);

6. If Rust function arguments or fields are on their own lines, they should
   always have a trailing comma:

	return Err(EvaluationError {
		message: format!("{}: Invalid token", i),
		code: EX_DATAERR,
	})

7. If text is on the same line as a brace, spaces should be placed after an
   opening curly brace and before a closing one:

	use sysexits::{ EX_DATAERR, EX_IOERR, EX_UNAVAILABLE, EX_USAGE };

8. If a control flow statement is short enough to be easily understood in a
   glance, it may be placed on a single line:

	if (!argc < 0) { usage(program_name); }

9. In C, note everything you use from a library in a comment subsequent to its
   #include statement:

	#include <unistd.h> /* close(2), getopt(3), lseek(2), read(2), write(2),
                         * optarg, optind, STDIN_FILENO, STDOUT_FILENO */
