But how is line breaking in function headers supposed to be done? The
coding style documentation specifically state the following:
"Descendants are always substantially shorter than the parent and are
placed substantially to the right. The same applies to function headers
with a long argument list."

I really don't want to bother you with trivial patches, especially when
they are incorrect, but I am trying to learn something, so I hope you
will help me out.
