Well, the style wasn't very consistent.  I think consistency is
important.  So I took the liberty of deciding for one style and stuck to it.

I didn't use alignment to open parentheses because that is often
reducing the usable space per line too much.  So you have to break lines
a lot and code becomes less readable.

Of course, I'm open to arguments if and why a particular style should be
preferred.  Maybe we should try to mostly avoid these bikeshed
discussions though. :)
