One of Crockford's style points that the community convention mostly disagrees with is IIFE style:

```js
(function(){ ... ])() // community
(function(){ ... ]()) // crockford
```

I'm surprised the jshint community hasn't proposed this yet, but I'd like to see an option in jshint to allow that paren orientation.

Been thinking about this for a while, but haven't posted the ticket as naming this particular option.. But in honor of how Crockford talks about it in [this youtube video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taaEzHI9xyY&feature=youtu.be#t=33m39s)...

I propose we name this option `dogballs`
