Coding guidelines for debugging improvement

Dear httpunit developers,

may I suggest some coding guideline improvements to make 
debugging easier? To set breakpoints it's necessary that 
the statements need to be on separate lines.

1. Avoid use of ? operator
instead of 
	return a ? b:c 
please do
	result=undefined
	if (a)
		result=b;
	else
		result=c;
	return result

2. Assign before return if intermediate results could 
	be interesting or problematic (e.g. null)

	instead of
		return f(g(h(i(j(param)))))

 	jr=j(param)
	ir=i(jr)
	hr=h(ir)
	gr=g(hr)
	fr=f(gr)
	return f;

3. Multiple lines for interesting statements
so instead of:
        for (int i = 0; i < controls.length; i++) controls[i].claimRequiredValues( list );
        for (int i = 0; i < controls.length; i++) controls[i].claimUniqueValue( list );
        for (int i = 0; i < controls.length; i++) controls[i].claimValue( list );
        if (!list.isEmpty()) throw 	new UnusedParameterValueException( _name, (String) list.get(0) );


    FormControl[] controls = getControls();
        for (int i = 0; i < controls.length; i++) 
        	  controls[i].claimRequiredValues( list );
        for (int i = 0; i < controls.length; i++) 
        	  controls[i].claimUniqueValue( list );
        for (int i = 0; i < controls.length; i++) 
        	  controls[i].claimValue( list );
        if (!list.isEmpty()) throw 	
        	  new UnusedParameterValueException( _name, (String) list.get(0) );






Thank you

  Yours
