Point taken :P I knew that was coming, but I didn't think about it
when I wrote that.
Personally, I would support any policy as to avoid different people
putting different meanings into the orders, especially if there are
groups of people who believe that everyone should do it their way
(maybe everyone should). I also think things like information
pertaining to developer platforms shouldn't be put into variable
ordering. When I write software I don't expect people to understand
intricacies of my design decisions and requirements from the order I
call functions or the order I give to my parameter assignments,
despite some rule of thumb I or others believe is the right way. Not
everyone thinks like me, and that's what comments and external
documentation are for.
