It doesn't matter. This is the crux of all interminable coding style
discussions. There is no objectively best coding style. Pick one,
stick to it. That's all that matters.

Linux happens to have a particular coding style, GNU has another. When
I hack Linux code I use one style, when I hack GNU coee I use another.
Arguing about it is a waste of time.
