How did the convention to eliminate gaps in declarations of the Obj-C method arise?

Question

How is it that there are no spaces in the method declaration?

-(UITableViewCell*)tableView:(UITableView*)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath

It seems like everyone is doing this, 90% of the examples I see are generated templates, other people's code, etc. etc. I suspect this is another vi / emacs ideological thing, but wondered if there is a K & amp R-type of the “root cause” of behavior.

I like a lot of spaces:

- (UITableViewCell*) tableView: (UITableView*) tableView
         cellForRowAtIndexPath: (NSIndexPath*) indexPath

It seems to me much better.
