Sorry, I didn't mean them to sound so draconian.  I've modified them a
bit and added a preface paragraph:

    These are the conventions I use in my own code.  Contributed code
    will not be refused merely because it does not strictly adhere to
    these conditions; as long as it's internally consistent, clean,
    and correct, it probably will be accepted.  But don't be surprised
    if the "offending" code gets fiddled over time to conform to these
    conventions.

It's not.  Purely my preference.  I find it cleaner, and ' doesn't
require shifting.  I was using both for a while, but found it looked
cluttered, so standardized on one.
