I cannot tell where that comes from; the person who uses it is an
experienced Perl programmer - may that be some convention in that
specific language context? (I can't tell.)

WRT code reviews; in the past I had horrendous code that I needed
to reformat using a code-beautifier before I could review it. But
those were extreme (and only rare) cases. (And above yet isn't as
bad as those other artworks I had.)
