I might be guilty of starting, or at least perpetuating, this trend.
I like this style for varargs lists, because it makes it visually
clear that this is a series of objects that are semantically "on the
same level", terminated with a special object. Actually the style is:
first try to fit them all on one line (including the terminator), and
if that doesn't work, then write them out one-per-line -- unless the
*only* arguments to the function are varargs, in which case just
mooshing them together into a normal arguments blob is fine, because
there are no other sorts of arguments from which they need to be
distinguished.
You know, I don't think I've ever had to articulate this before.
