What? What's a pretty severe nit pick. Especially for 30 year old C code.

They didn't have no gofmt back then. We are spoiled today with the extreme consistency :) the skill of reading code includes reading even when it deviates from one's own preferred formatting (within reason, maliciously formatted code can be challenging, to say the least).

I must respectfully disagree about this being an issue worthy of anyone's attention, especially yours and mine.
