I disagree with you too, and so does your version control (if I'm
wrong, please tell me, so I can switch). If you add a constructor, you
have to make a change to the line containing the old last constructor,
even though you didn't actually change that line.

Also, either your pipes don't line up, or you violate your own rule

...except that the spaces here are not indentation.
