What it's doing now (after I tinkered with it) is:

        Writer out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(
            "filename.log"),
            secondarg);

        Writer out = new BufferedWriter(firstarg,
            new FileWriter(
                "filename.log"));

Which is ok, though I'm of two minds about the extra indent level on
the second one. If I had a lot of nested calls with multiple
parameters it would be helpful, but I don't see that much.

I don't run into lots of long nested calls except with IO Streams and
Readers/Writers in Java, and I rarely use more than one parameter with
them. As long as the wrapped line ends up far enough to the left that
I have enough space to type something useful it doesn't bother me.
