Also, the gcc sources, the last time I looked.

Yes, it does. 

However, as I've stated before WRT the namespace indenting thing, or the
template indenting thing, consistency is the goal, and the way
formatting changes should be done is to change C++STYLE, then do
everything, not just a pick here and a poke there.

Therefore, please fix this Paolo, and if you'd like to open a general
formatting thread, feel free.
