Thanks for the link. That really is a fine document. The only thing I
spotted that I'd change is the recommendation to put all require and
include statements at the top of a file, before class definitions.
With requires it usually (though not invariably) makes sense, but with
includes it doesn't, since they pertain to specific classes.
