to ban it as the only one.

## General advice
Some older parts of the code violate the style guide in various ways.
* If making small changes to such code, follow the style guide when it's
reasonable to do so, but in matters of formatting etc., it is often better to
be consistent with the surrounding code.
* If making large changes to such code, consider first cleaning it up in a

There's a substantial chunk of legacy C code in WebRTC, and a lot of it is old
enough that it violates the parts of the C++ style guide that also applies to C
(naming etc.) for the simple reason that it pre-dates the use of the current C++
style guide for this code base.
* If making small changes to C code, mimic the style of the surrounding code.
