Usually better to wrap to somewhere sensible..:

.....$aReallyLongVariableName = aReallyLongFunction(
.........A_REALLY_LONG_CONSTANT,
.........$aReallyLongVar
.....);

indents should be a factor of 4 spaces (As per CS) - as long as the
continuation is indented I guess it follows CS, technically...

That is what I tend to do, I find it much more readable that way. I
guess we could add that as an example to the manual.
