I wondered about that myself some time ago.   The conclusion I came to
was that it was referring to where the '{' is put in a function definition.
Since K&R C had declarations between the ) after the parameters, and the
{ that started the code block, that '{' always went on a line by itself.
So, what I think this is saying, in about the most obscure way possible,
is that the '{' for a function block goes on a line by itself, after
the function name & arg list, rather than say:
	int
	main(int argc, char **argv) {
which is the location that the '{' goes in almost every other instance.
