I've been playing with different style options, especially with 
function contracts. Traditionally, I've used a new line per 
bracket (at least for types and methods) but I've been playing 
around with putting them after the definition. I've found 
readability makes a huge difference that way if your variable 
definition (auto, int, string, etc) are colored different than 
keywords (if, static, public, etc).

class Person
{
    string name;

    void coolName(string name) in {
        assert(name != "F i L");
    } body {
        this.name = name;
    }
}
