I try to get lines to fit within 80 characters, but otherwise I go for
a neat layout. That often results in statements like these:

int aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa =
    bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb(
        cccccccccccccccccccc,
        ddddddddddddddddddddddddd,
        eeeeeeee);

or

int aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa =
    bbbbbbbbbbb(ccccccccccc, dddddddddd, eeeee);

or

int aaaaaaaaaaaaaa = bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb(
    ccccccccccccc, dddddddddddd, eeeeeeeeeee);

Of course the variable and method names are very meaningful names, not
like those above.
