That option is low on my priority list so it'd be nice if you could fix
it. Please use the style the code is already using; you can see the GNU
Coding Standards for more details. Most likely your change would be
significant enough that we'd need copyright assignment from you and your
employer; I can send you details about how to do that, privately, if you
like.
