Are we really going to be so strict about the reverse xmas-tree that
we won't allow for assignment w/ variable declaration because the
dependency order won't fit into that format?

Yes.

Last I knew this kind of setup was an exception to the reverse
xmas-tree layout requirement because in this case 'p' relies on 'v' so
we can't reorder these without having to kick the assignment of 'p'
off onto a line by itself.

Please just declare the variable naked without the assignment and do
the assignment down in the code.

I have a changeset that I had made to incorporate the reverse xmas
tree, doing the very thing you talk about, above.
The only reason I didnt not send it out because it made more than
minimal changes, especially how the 'opt' struct is defined.

I will make the changes and send the review around once more.

Thanks,
