as a non member of the grammar gestapo (: but a card carrying geek, i put
forth this request
parentheses (or are they ises?) are *great*, but nesting has to be done so
it's readable.
this is done by doing thie ( we like to layer spaces around (code
standards at work) if and elses so that people can easily see which groups
go where )
[]'s would be indicative of lists indices and very confusing (to me, not
you, i know) (:
so then we could all write like this
if( space > 1 )
{
$explainwithparens = 1;
}
