   I am sure you don't want to do that. As I wrote.   
      
   But what about the guy sitting next to you working on the same project?   
      
   Unless you have a coding convention against it and use a static code   
   analyzer to enforce the rule, then it could happen.   
      
   You should not assume everybody on the project write code the same   
   way as you.
