The code I posted follows the PHP coding style guidelines
(the variant for short code snippets in our dev dept's CMS)
of the organisation I'm working for. I don't think I should
snap out of my habits (that weren't all that easy to
develop to boot, since the coding style I personally prefer
uses *way* more whitespace that the snippet in my OP) just
for the sake of your ease of understanding. Not only you
aren't signing my paychecks, other people might actually
find the code easier to read in the style I used, so no
reason to give you any preference.

I find the coding style promoted by Zend IDE ugly and hard
to parse even with syntax highlighting, let alone by naked
eye. It's a matter of perception, and if you believe
there's any sort of consensus on preferable coding style
even in PHP community alone, you're sadly mistaken.
