Description

I think that the rule about dsl methods and the absense of parenthesis should be removed from this guide, since what is or not a dsl method is highly subjective.

On the other hand, I'd like to propose that multi-line method invocations should indeed use parenthesis, since it is the only way to make them be auto-indented in emacs.

Research direction

Locate the guide section covering DSL methods, parentheses, and multi-line invocations, then read the existing wording alongside the eight-comment discussion. Determine the settled recommendation, including the Emacs auto-indentation concern; done means the guide reflects an agreed, unambiguous rule.
