You're not alone. I've adopted this practice in C programs ever since I
read about it in a book called _Human Factors and Typography for More
Readable Programs_, by Ronald M. Baeker and Aaron Markus, ACM Press,
1990. The authors recommend breaking long lines at operators "of
relatively low precedence" and placing the operator at the beginning of
the second line because "it emphasizes at the beginning of the
continuation that the second line is a continuation."
