Details

There has been much debate recently about the various coding styles that are present and active in the codebase and (new) ways of enforcing them and to unify the more. See https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mozilla.dev.platform/EYCylYteP-I/discussion and https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mozilla.dev.platform/bx3TInOrtfk/discussion (where Unfocused mentioned this idea!) Whatever comes out of that discussion, it can be recorded in a global .editorconfig file that is supported by all (semi-)popular editors, apart from just a wiki page. Coding style variations can be set on a per-directory basis, which is how our modules and components are organized.
