Somehow over the years learning C on my own, perhaps because it seemed more consistent to me, I got used to writing

    if(foo) {

omitting the space after control statements' names, which is almost never done - except in very early C code. (It's not just this: V7 Unix often omits the space as well.). I should probably settle on a less idiosyncratic personal style, but I can't help but take a little heart from seeing "my" style in such a famous codebase. :)
