Yes, please fix this.  AFAIK this is the documented style.

It is hard to say whether we arrived at a policy the last time we had
this discussion.  These things rarely seem to converge, they just wander
off into the weeds.

I usually follow the prevailing style of the module I am modifying.
That is always a safe thing to do.

This one is up to you :-)
