I spend a ridiculous amount of my review time picking on people's coding style.
;)  I'm sure other reviewers do to.

Google gets around this (somewhat) by using a custom linting tool.  Google's
code style is different  (but not crazy different) from WebKit's.

Perhaps we could hack their linting tool into one which works for WK:

Or we could write our own.

CCing folks who tend to get interested in this kind of thing.
