I think Ralf (from the subject) and Ncolas (from the quote above) are trying
to say the code looks obfuscated and is thus not compliant.

However, I think that the author just got the line endings screwed.
If you search and replace {four or more spaces} with <newline>+{those
spaces}, the files look quite normal, not even vaguely obfuscated.
