Add LOC_COMPUTED etc. to scope_info.


Michael, most of this patch is white space changes and as such should 
separated out and committed separatly. 


Michael, I appologise for my very poor choice of words.

We've previously all agreed that it is helpful to commit whitespace 
changes separately; it's easier to sort things out when looking at CVS 
diffs later on.  Could you do that?
Andrew, I don't agree that we have all agreed to what you say.
What I recall discussing (and my review of the mail archive
bears out my recollection) is that it is helpful if submissions
for review have whitespace changes separated out, becuase
otherwise they are difficult to review.
I also did not find any examples where you previously asked a
global maintainer to redo a mixed patch to a file that he or she
maintained.  I did, OTOH, find at least seven examples where a
maintainer had committed such a patch, and nobody said anything
about it.  I posted links to those patches.
I think you are proposing a new standard.  I'm not committed
to opposing that standard, but it is new, and I think warrants
discussion by the group.  If the group agrees to that standard,
I will be happy to abide by it.  But standards should be set
by the group, not by one person.
Wouldn't you agree?
