That's the way I do it. But a chap has to be able to read many dialects; the difference between a language "english how she is speak" And "the queens english". Both useful for different things.
I like an expressive languages dialect and tend to expressive dialects. Do-begin coupled with indentation is to me more clear then the extra reminder of grammer that I don't need and which a split line would provide. Of course this is all just an artifact of my experience impinging on my mind, I don't expect that others should agree. The more verbose forms are more friendly to diff and patch, I have found, leaving plenty of non-modified scaffolding for diff to anchor to. I'm all for the IDE converting from the one true form to editors-choice and back again when loading and saving.

What do you think? Does it look wrong for some reason?
