Feedback

The script wfm.sh shows that no code-style is being applied:

• inconsistent use of empty newlines
• inconsistent use of indentation

Some code-style decisions are very easy to improve (like a homogeneous indentation using editor options), whereas others require code reviewers to be raising the issues. But once a code-style has been established, it tends to be respected.

Rational

Inconsistent code-style has an impact on the perceived code quality (no matter how good or bad it is).

Contributors miss guidance on code-style and contribute to worsening the situation.

@Silvanoc , agreed, there should be common indent/tabs/newlines. We will fix.

Do you know editconfig? It helps contributors automatically stick to the rules. I would anyway document somewhere some rough code-style.
