Just don't. This kind of prescriptive nonsense isn't nearly as helpful as you think it is. People value very different things when reading code, and vertical whitespace is not nearly the universal good you seem to think it is. For myself, I much prefer to trade slightly more complicated intra-line semantics for the ability to see more of the code on the screen at one time.

C has been around long enough to develop multiple competing paradigms for how to format source code, each with copious existence proofs that "Good Code" can be written in them. Conform to what you're maintaining, don't start fights.
