Punctuation/syntax style guide

I’m currently working on a new parser package that will provide code analysis as it runs, part of which will be formatting hints. My hunting hasn’t found anything concrete so I’m looking for a bit of feedback on what are the key punctuation guidelines to be followed.

From the style guide in the docs we have

  • use ! for modifying functions
  • modules/types use camel casing
  • functions use lowercase
  • Don’t parenthesize conditions

And in addition

  • 4 space indent for blocks (except modules)
  • Spaces following commas (perhaps not when inside curly braces?)
  • Spaces surround operators except powers, type/subtype declarations, unary ops, division, powers and dots
  • No spaces on the inside edge of brackets

Any suggestions would be much appreciated
