No, it won't. It'll just turn "why is the thing missing" to "so, uh,
what's the reason it''s missing?" Intent has nothing to do with
explanation. If we include a comment like this, we should include a
page in the docs explaining exactly why, and then include that URL in
the comment. Only then will it pre-empt questions.

I finally decided that it's best to remove all ?> from the end of all
files. I set this to ready to be commited as there is not a single line
of code which is modified and we have debated this to death on the devel
list.


TODO: update the coding style guidelines.

Patch applies, seems to work (a quick check trying various things on a
test-site succeeded).

Committed to HEAD.  Marking this 'active' until the coding guidelines
have been updated.

I have not patched *.php so that templates won't get hurt. But this
meant a few files are left out... here.

What do you think about leaving a comment at the end of every file like


// end tag intentionally omited

+1. This will prevent lots of questions in the forums...
