In the commit message IIRC I mentioned this is 'work in progress', I
probably need to make some changes before this is reliable for all of
src/ and plugins/.

Well, we did tell you about a space after if and no space after an
opening bracket ;-)

There is also the issue of a small amount of existing code sometimes
being formatted wrongly, but hopefully with scripts we can iron out
these.

It seems we might need to write a clear style guide, although
personally I think it's pretty easy to copy the existing code style. It
would be quicker to read though.
