Someone out there must have a beautifier that can analyze a set of source code,
summarize the stylistic variations, and apply those same variations to any other
block of source. I expect a beautifier of this type to function using letter or
token patterns from the set of example sources. Oh, you say no one has written
one of these yet. Well, lets get to it. :-)

Come to think of it, if such a utility does exist, I'd like a copy. I do prefer
programs that can adapt and learn, if ony by example.
