- The spacing rules are ambiguous and could be misinterpreted. Consider clarifying: (1) what 'at class' means in line 18 (between fields? between field groups?), and (2) whether line 19's 'every 3 statements' means after each group of 3 or between individual statements. Provide concrete code examples to illustrate these rules.
