   Why? They are confusing and serve no useful purpose. None of the rest of the code has them. Do you want them in all the code? And on the same line as the SETERRQ? Not indented on a separate line like all the other clauses?

   We really have to switch to use some programmable pretty printer so everyone can have their favorite styles in the Emacs buffer but there is a canonical version in the repository.
