OK, so this seems to be the last thing to resolve before the coding style can be merged (or at least accepted) from what I've looked over. 

What should we do with this? Leave it in the coding guidelines or take it out and evaluate this sort of thing during code review? I'm completely neutral on this so I'm fine either way. To make this sort of thing easier to decide, should we just put it to a vote of those for or against it?
