 I agree with Gary & Mark about not continuing this one. Code editors 12
 years ago did have bracket matching, but back then it was popular to
 document the beginning & end of large HTML blocks, and this was carried
 over from that.

 As far as large coding standards related changes go:
 * We can minimize the number of times they’re necessary by enforcing the
 standards for every comimit after these go in.
 * We can evaluate the impact of new coding standards changes regularly and
 keep the codebase up to date with them.
 * We shouldn’t be afraid to to do either of those things.

 There’s nothing egregious in our current coding standards – that I can
 find – that is reason enough to block this. It’s a million times better,
 and I expect the positive response when this goes in will be huge.
