I fail to see how showing that breaking something like a sentence into
absurd pieces proves anything regarding something that is already
fairly structured and separate.

I mean, is:

public void Foo(int x,
                      int y
                      String z) {
    ...
}

truly that unreadable?  Especially when the developer is going to be
scanning for the parameters individually anyway?  What about when you
start throwing even more crap into those such as @Nullable?
Eventually, whitespace becomes a tool that helps a lot.  Use it.

(Also, I have contended many times that this is something that is
difficult to codify and I would not require it on all declarations.)
