foo.bar    = 25
foo.biz    = 'Hello World'
foo.bazzle = 42

foo.bar = 25
foo.biz = 'Hello World'
foo.bazzle = 42

# BAD:
Foo.something :bar, :baz    => 'bling',
                    :bizzle => 'boink',
                    :bowang => '...'

# GOOD:
Foo.something :bar,
  :baz => 'bling',
  :bizzle => 'boink',
  :bowang => '...'

# => In multi-line statements,
#    use a maximum of one tab-width of whitespace, 
#    at the beginning of the line only,
#    to left-align lines after the first.
