No, the de facto standard even in Emacs sources is the usual GNU style. Outside
of macro statements I count 142 instances of the usual GNU style, as opposed to
only 28 instances of the K&R-ish style where "do {" is on the same line.
Surely if we want to change the GNU style, we should change the coding standards
rather than just ignore them.
