No -- stupid variable-width font!
I don't think anyone should write code with variable width fonts, and I'd
rather not do email that way either, but gmail is making it tough these
days..
Sorry for the added confusion.
This actually is forbidden because you're not using "vertical alignment"

yeah -- that was the intent....
oh well.

not really -- it allows it:
# Aligned with opening delimiter.
foo = long_function_name(var_one, var_two,
var_three, var_four)
but all the examples have more than one variable per line...my point is
that I think that should be discouraged.
i.e. I think the above should be:
# Aligned with opening delimiter.
foo = long_function_name(var_one,
var_two,
var_three,
var_four)
(done with fixed-width font this time -- but it may not look right in your
mail reader..)
though I doubt there would consensus on requiring that -- but many of us
learn more from examples than the specification, so maybe I'll submit a
patch with an example like that.
