Of all the reasons to or not to &, this one, by Tilly, so that I can keep the same style in several languages. is probably the one I fall back to the most.

Most of the errors I have to deal with in cross language coding come from programming in one language, then switching to another but still using the other language's syntax (or commands).

Anything I can do to allow me to code in the language de project (working on several different ones per day) is a blessing.
