No, it's not K&R; at a minimum, we use a mixture of spaces and tabs to
achieve 4-character cell indentation almost everywhere. Plus, in the X
server, the general format is:

    if (foo)
    {
	indented body
    }
    else
    {
	indented else
    }

while K&R uses

	if (foo) {
		indented body
	} else {
		indented else
	}

I don't care which you use in your own code, but do try to precisely
match the code in which you are working when making changes.
