I got used to a system that did not save source code as written. Only "object" was saved. If you wanted to see source, the object was de-compiled. Such a system allows the user to view the code anyway they want, even to the extent of making expressions left or right associative, as the user sees fit. Same goes for opcode symbols or mnemonics.
Nothing in IT should ever be cast in stone unless we have a better reason than team uniformity.
