Author Emacs CC Mode's auto-newline facility: INFORMAL SURVEY

To all those who use (X)Emacs's CC Mode to edit C, C++, Java,
Objective-C, Pike, AWK or IDL:

To help direct the development of CC Mode, it would be useful to find out
how people use the auto-newline "minor mode" facility. If you could
spare a little time, would you answer these questions, please:

o Do you program with auto-newline switched on (e.g. do you get NLs
inserted automatically after typing a `;' or `{')?
o Did you configure this auto-newline setting yourself, and if not, are
you happy with it?
o Are you aware of the key binding C-c C-a to toggle this mode on and
off?
o How often do you use C-c C-a (or even C-c C-t) to toggle auto-newline
mode?
o In which language(s) (C, C++, ....) do you program in (X)Emacs?

Further pertinent comments are, of course, welcome. Thanks in advance
for your time.

(like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a").
