The guidelines' introduction does, after all, countenance gradual
adoption - especially for existing code-bases - and a general opt-in
approach.  Presumably QtC's style is also used for new projects; it may
be worth using a larger subset of the guidelines for new projects as
compared to old; and it probably makes sense to make it easy for users
to configure which of the guidelines they opt in to, for each project.
