   `(a)(b)\n(c)' is better than `(a, b)\n(c)' because the second flavor is
   highly misleading: grouping is artificial.

That is how I perceive also.  It may look all right with a parenthesis
at the beginning of the second line, but the grouping is misleading.
Troublesome as it is, `(a, b,\nc)' is better, unless, of course, the
grouping is different.
