Stageing? And you might as well drop the filename from the summary. By
the way, are the other files (if any) of this driver any better (I
haven't checked)?

I'd say this line might need a space after the cast.

You missed the space before the semicolons here.

But, more importantly, why only do whitespace related stuff? Almost
every second word apparently needs to be restyled here. Is doing just
whitespace related stuff worthwhile? (This is not a rhetorical question.
