It is, but how is that relevant to the issue at hand? The issue at
hand is how does open-paren-in-column-0-is-defun-start affect C code
editing. The intent of my reference to GNU standards was to point
out that having an opening brace in column zero is a very frequent
situation in the C sources of any GNU project, and therefore saying
this convention is not useful for C flies in the face of the reality
right under our feet.
