That's funny, my examples disappeared, leaving only a colon.  Here:

    mumble (natter, gromish) {
        ...
    }

I then went on to point out that if there are multiple lines in the
front matter, I like to line up the first bracket as well:

    mumble (natter, gromish,
        natter, gromish,
        natter, gromish,
        natter, gromish)
    {
        ...
    }
