Try to find something other than "Fix" to describe what you have done.
What kind of change have you made and why is it a good idea?

I think that the code was nicer before.  Staying inside 80 characters is
worth something, and having the arguments lined up with the ( seems lees
important in this case.  It could be a concern if the arguments eg ended
up right under the function name, because that would be easy to misread,
but that is not the case here.
