Very small journey from simple `grep` and trivial multi-line `sed` to a huge discovery can be found here: http://kernelnewbies.org/olecom#Function_definitions No matter what coding style is, the winner is "linux-2.6/fs/xfs", and i doubt anyone can fix that :) Maybe meta-patching by `sed` scripts in `git`?
