Coding convention: use of `!x' vs. `! x'

[Mark Mitchell <mark at codesourcery dot com>]

I have contacted the people responsible for the GNU Coding Standards,
and they have indicated that there is no official GNU practice, and
that the issue is sufficiently minor that they do not think an
offical GNU standard is required.

However, I suggest that within GCC we use a consistent style going
forward, and that the style be `!x' rather than `! x'.  This is no big
deal, and it would be a waste of effort to change all uses of the
latter into the former, but going forward let's use the former style.

Gerald, as web page maintainer would you be willing to create a page
for coding standards used in GCC above and beyond those mandated by
the GNU Coding Standards?  The discussion we just had about using
all_lowercase names for macros that are front-ends for functions would
be another thing we could include on this page.  I'm sure more things
will come up in the future.

Thanks,
