You've made this change for several files now. I always thought it would
be simpler to have the return type on a separate line to match the .c
file, but since all the .h files have it on the same line, I've been
dutifully adjusting the alignment of all the new prototypes I add.

So is this a "thing" now? Should I add new prototypes with the return
type on a separate line?

As always my one objection would be that these large patches to reformat
things mostly just obscure the history of the most recent "real" change,
and create annoying (but usually easily resolvable) merge errors when
backporting future fixes to previous versions.
