This convention is a bit different from what mpm wrote at
http://pastebin.com/7fFQ0BNr. After he posted that, there was some IRC
conversation about things like lexical sorting and one import per line. I
figured things have developed to the point where *something* can be put in
code form and we can discuss more formally via code review.

The convention submitted is what I personally would like. It's pretty
comprehensive and doesn't leave much wiggle room. Yet it is also pretty
straightforward and easy to conform to. I'm pretty sure Augie's preferences
align pretty closely with this as well, although he should probably weigh
in just to be sure.

Let the bikeshedding begin.
