This is what I remember from reading K&R:

* braces on a new line for things that cannot be nested, i.e. functions.

* braces on things that can be nested, i.e. if/else, try/catch.

So, if we were to really follow these two principles, then the brace for
classes should not be in a newline, because we can put inner classes.
Well, there is always an exception, right? ;-)

By now, I just do it out of habit and because of my tuned sense of
aesthetics (I just think this style looks the best).

Duncan.
