I suggested this a couple years ago, probably around the time of
the Big Reformat. :-) The theory was to not force the testsuite
to be a "monoculture" of code all in the same style, on the off
chance that maybe someday we'll catch a source listing or line
number bug that would not be noticed in GNU-formatted code.
