 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);

I think I'd go with this:
     value = really_quite_extremely_long_function_name(
         arg1,
         arg2,
         arg3,
         arg4);
Since the args would then also line up with a similar call but where the function name is a different length:
     value2 = a_somewhat_shorter_function_name(
         arg1,
         arg2,
         arg3,
         arg4);
That's assuming it is still not viable to have them all on the same line.
