About the only place in a signature that I like to break it up across lines is with the parameters, and I generally will let the signature line get to the limit before I will break it up (which in the case of Phobos, would be 120 characters, since it has a hard limit of 120, and a soft limit of 80 - and functions are one place where I will definitely go passed the soft limit). Regardless, formatting code is one are that's always going to be highly subjective. - Jonathan M Davis
