Good programming practices #28

Reviewer 1 wants us to mention good coding practices. Again, we can fend this off by being more specific about what we mean by "robust" - we're not saying good coding is unwanted, it's just out of scope. (I'm confused by the citation in this point of Knuth - his algorithms book doesn't say anything about software development.)
