I prefer to use the first version (also known as K&R style or The One True
Brace Style) mainly because putting the { on a line by itself is a
completely wasted line, and I'd rather be able to see the extra line of
code in my editor window instead.
It's a matter of personal preference, really. Of such things are Holy
