This version seems very good.
However, I have the feeling that coding_standards/ is not a good name:
	- "standards" word is a bit strong ;
	- "coding" seems too restrictive, maybe we would like to put
more guidelines in this directory (thinking about file tree, compat and tests).
Do you agree I rename it to guidelines/coding_style.rst?
