[Dev] Coding Guidelines

[Bryan Stearns]

Guido prefers the paren immediately following the function name:

+1 means more than mine in this case.)

I prefer the paren immediately following the function name. It is easier to
find using tools (I find readability about the same). You can also easily
have tools find functions vs variables. Having the space can also cause an
automatic line wrap to appear at a weird place (for example when you copy
sample code to web).
