Right.  The usual rule when contributing to an existing project is
"imitate the surruounding code", but there is often a tension between
global style guidelines and the local conventions.

In this case I have to agree with Matthieu: the test script is
easier to read if it follows a single, consistent style.  The cleanup
can happen another day.
