I don't know how compare non-cosmetic changes only, nor the best way to
show differences *within* a line instead of only entire-line
differences. Both of these would be very nice.
However, I worked on RB's pretty print to suit my own formatting tastes
(I was raised with Beck's "Rectangular Block") a couple of weeks ago.
I now, *finally*, have hot-key auto-formatting of my code that I can
tolerate.
I realize what a great productivity booster auto-formatting is. YOu
can just place the cursor within a method, type like crazy whatever you
need, then hit command+shift+s followed by command+s.
Made me wonder how much cumululative time I've spent over the years
manually formatting code.. :-\
PS - I'm disappointed to hear we're converting a bunch of legacy code
to use := instead of left-arrow.. Why mark the original authors of the
code with your own personal preference?
