I'm JAPH.  I find C++, SQL, and Perl sufficient for everything I do.  One of
these days, I'm going to write isql in Perl, as a demonstration.  Without
looking, I bet it's already been done.  

If you like my approach, I can dig through my history file and work up a
little script to reprocess the doxygen warnings.

It must be a doxygen setting.  You weren't using EXTRACT_ALL?

It's a BSD indent switch:

  -dj, -ndj     -dj left justifies declarations.  
                -ndj indents declarations the same as code.  
                The default is -ndj.

It can be a bit extreme.  I've noticed that sometimes we have declarations
within a loop (you couldn't do that when I was learning C) and indent makes
them left-flush, too.  I think indent's logic predates variable declarations
anywhere other than at the top of a function.  

My understanding of the Sense of the Senate is that -ndj variables should be
used (I hadn't noticed it in .indent.pro).  I know Brian used left-flush
declarations, but others don't and it's nonstandard (or at least uncommon)
and he's not hacking the code much these days, *and* I don't think it
matters much to him.  For those reasons, I've been indenting variable
declarations whenever I touch a function.  

I suppose we should either adjust .indent.pro or re-reformat my
"improvements".
