I actually find a similar effect for and/or chains, where the beginning-of-line format makes things lined up and easier to scan -- e.g. comparing these two options:
return (something1() and f() and some_expression > 1 and (some_other_thing() == whatever or blahblah or asdf))
return (something1() and f() and some_expression > 1 and (some_other_thing() == whatever or blahblah or asdf))
then I find the second option dramatically more readable. But maybe that's just me -- for and/or the argument is a bit less compelling, because you don't regularly have chains of different operators with the same precedence, like you do with +/-.
I agree. ;) Most of my continuation lines are with `and` and `or`, and I try to keep the logical pieces on one line with the join `and` or `or` beginning the next line. Much easier for me to read. -- ~Ethan~
