Do you think that, in practice, this makes enough difference
to justify mixing styles?
I'm writing all my code based upon the understanding that
PHP code is parsed once and remains in accelerator cache to
be called thereafter (assuming such software is installed),
so I use comments and whitespace very liberally, something I
would not do if I believed the scripts needed to be parsed
every time they were called.
Someone please correct me if my understanding is flawed.
