This makes it easier to spot the function name. The type can be long,
and then there's usually a comment above it, the "indent gap" makes the
name stand out.
I have been thinking of aligning the return type with the paren before
the first argument:
int
vim_main2(void)
{
But I don't think it is an improvement.
