[Development] Coding style proposal

[Smith Martin]

When I want to find a C++ function, I search for "::functionName"

I feel so old.

Wait... I'll be 64 this month. I remember when I first heard the Beatles sing "When I'm 64." I thought I would never be 64 years old. But now here I am, still using old reliable ctrl-s to find functions.

I hardly used it _because_ it was still such a hassle to find anything
in it in a larger file. That might certainly change now...
