I'm fine with your suggestion, and in fact it's my preference
as well. However, there _are_ cases where you just can't do that,
because the return type + function name + parameter end up being
too long for a single line. It's even easier to happen when you need
to spell out the parameter name, not just the type (to refer
to in the describing comment).
