RE: Alignment Nazi?

Simple solution: set in your coding standards that ALL classnames MUST be a
specific length, and also dictate specific lengths for all member variables,
method names, etc. etc.

Problem solved :)

Gorden,

My question is what happens if the Temperature class is renamed to
something longer?  Do you have to go through all of the classes that
declare a Temperature instance and move every single = to maintain
alignment?

Are you forced to keep names short, so that alignment is easy?  Would
you prefer correct alignment over descriptive names?

If names aren't kept short, then you start having to scroll sideways
in the IDE and word wrap in the printouts.  Is that desirable?

I've been working with SQL that uses the same type of alignment
scheme, and these are the problems I've been encountering.
