Problem is that I first change code formatting just to make it readable,
and then do fixes. Most fixes was impossible without reformatting.


In projects like Lazarus and Free Pascal it's "when in Rome, do as the
Romans do" regarding formatting. So don't change formatting only because
*you* can't work with it. And I highly doubt that the possibility of fixes
depends on the formatting...
