OK. I have one question (out of curiosity):

I see you use a column after "i.e." while, according to Wikipedia,
"American style guides tend to recommend that "e.g." and "i.e."
should generally be followed by a comma, just as "for example" and
"that is" would be; UK style tends to omit the comma." I'm not a
native speaker and my Oxford Style Guide and Butcher's are in the
friend's bedroom, which actually hosts friends tonight, so I can't
look it up. Any particular reason to use a column? (I see, from a
quick grep of GCC docs, that column and coma are equally represented.)
