> Don't put the return type on a separate line.

Generally yes, but stuff like

   ReturnType<SomeOther<S, TypeConstructor<Nested<S, T, U>, T>>, U, HmmLetsAdd<V, W>>

can be on a line of its own.

I generally agree but there are two problems:

1. You're writing C++. You've really lost half the battle laready :) and

2. Writing correct templated code is difficult and should generally be reserved for when you're writing a library; and

3. For complicatred types like this, one should strive to increase readability by using type aliases, assuming your language supports it (eg C++ and Hack do). It's not always possible.
