[dev] line continuation coding standard?

[Eric Garrido]

In Perl, Damian Conway has an implicit recommendation in "Perl Best  
Practices" that the assignment be split such that the operator is the  
first non-whitespace character on the next line. (Pages 31 and 60)

In other words, in Perl, option 2 is recommended. I think that's  
better anyway as it shows the intent of the second line a priori.
