That'll be painful to merge, especially in big teams.

  That's why it wasn't presented as a solution, rather as an inspiration. IMO it makes more sense to read code like this, editing it can still be done with the usual delimiters. I'd see an editor that by default shows the formatted code but for lines with an active cursor, it switches to plaintext.

    I was thinking in terms of say do a diff between previous versions of the files stored in svn, p4, git, etc. - and then keep in mind that these might be diffed/merged/viewed/reviewed in tons of different ways - from automatic tools checking certain coding rules, or expanding $fields$ (perforce/rcs), or reviewing online (ReviewBoard), or who knows what. so far TEXT files (ASCII, utf-8, utf-16, etc.) have made most sense for source code, when comes to huge group of people (100+).
