I think I made it sound like I had more controversy in mind than I
should have. Here's what I had in mind:
1) Indent using the emacs conventions. (Are xemacs and emacs identical
in this regard?)
2) Make sure that emacs has lisp-indent-function set to
common-lisp-indent-function.
3) End blocks with )'s all on the same line. There are a number of
places in the code with
blah))))
))
where I would have written
blah))))))
That's all.
