I'm for this for entirely-new code, but I think when adding code in
existing modules we're better off with the rule of "make it match
nearby code". I admit it might be hard to draw a clear line between
the two cases, plus there might be local inconsistency already.
But let's try to avoid making local style inconsistencies worse.
