code standards enforced by pre-commit hooks

[jf---]

an explicit code standard, enforced by pre-commits

As a [developer], I want [explicit & automagic enforcing of code standards] so that [code is homogeneous, commits are compacts and maintainers are relieved from nitpicking].

Details

Code standards are important, but a fatiguing to embrace if not automated.

Describe the solution you'd like
Pre-commits seems a nice way to go about this.

More tooling might scare off new devs, conversely tooling allows maintainers to whip PR's in shape and merge with confidence.
