I prefer the latter as well, but I don=E2=80=99t usually insist on that. We don=E2=80=99t have specific written conventions; there=E2=80=99s .dir-lo= cals.el, and then a reference to a more general coding convention for Scheme in =E2=80=98HACKING=E2=80=99. Would it help to have them written down? Ludo=E2=80=99.
