	According to the Jargon file, this one is called Whitesmiths style. I 
tend to use Allman style myself, but given the code completion, 
spellchecking, etc. in modern IDEs, I suspect it's become more a 
question of personal preference than anything else.

	A bit like if(foo) versus if (foo), and whether or not to use braces 
for single-line blocks. (the latter issue being why I think The 
Whitespace Thing is an instance of Best Thing Ever(TM))
