Ooh, interesting! Does not following PBP constitute a failing that should be flagged in and of itself? (I'm not being facetious here, I'm genuinely interested in what people think about this.) If so, to what degree? While I think PBP is a fantastic book, there are (to my mind) certain recommendations in it which can/should be ignored more readily than others and regarding the whole book as a "must-follow" sort of bible would pose more restrictions on module authors than I personally think sensible.
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. -- Brian W. Kernighan
