Subject: musl shell script style
This thread is useless to most developers and users. But hey, I might as well send it here for future style-obsessed readers to benefit instead of privately asking Rich.
I'm obsessed with code style guides of good projects, e.g., Linux, OpenBSD (*not* GNU). I consider musl a great project. However, I'm curious:
1. Why use no tabs or spaces to indent blocks in the configure script? Is it to reduce file size? (If yes, this would conflict with question #2 below.)
2. Why put a space before the function declaration parentheses?
These questions are not criticism. I'm genuinely curious in the whys or just mental processes that lead the maintainers to write it that way. As I said: I really like code styles. :)
