I think some people feel this is good style, but I agree with you
about not liking it. A related practice I could do without is eating
an extra line for an argument-closing paren, as in this example in
tsquery_op.c:
Datum
tsq_mcontained(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
PG_RETURN_DATUM(
DirectFunctionCall2(
tsq_mcontains,
PG_GETARG_DATUM(1),
PG_GETARG_DATUM(0)
)
);
}
Aside from the waste of vertical space, it's never very clear to me
(nor, evidently, to pgindent) how such a paren ought to be indented.
So to my eye this could be four lines shorter and look better.
