I thought so too, so I looked, and of course it's not as 
interesting as we might have hoped.

I'm not allowed to post the code here, but I can paraphrase:

   value = really_quite_extremely_long_function_name(arg1,
                                                     arg2,
                                                     arg3,
                                                     arg4);
