I'm thinking that the style guide's recommendations will likely be
integrated with IntelliJ 9's Scala plugin.  Ilya has been looking for
something to build his code formatter on and I think this document may
provide the best guide for him.

If we can build new code going forward based on the style guide and then
"backport" the rest of the code when the tooling is available, I think that
may be the best use of resources.

Thanks,

David

PS -- I think the style guide is stellar!
