Hi,

the bizarre indentation levels are sometimes used to separate
clean parts from dirty parts (repeated prototypes, debug code, ...).
This is mostly a proof of concept to receive feedback, I would
never submit something in that shape for merging. ;-)
(as I already wrote in the first sentences of my mail).

I hope someone can explain the ID reuse stuff. I'm not able to say
what applications rely on this, but I can say that in my first
implementation I assumed one add and one free for each ID and the
KDE desktop was not able to start (and fluxbox too, IIRC).
