Allow line breaking before && or ||

[arian]

For multiple line conditions it might be more readable if the && and || are at the beginning of the line. JSHint however does not allow this, resulting in the error "Bad line breaking before '&&'."

if (a
    && b
    && c
    && (
        d
        || e
    )
){
    /* yay! */
}

This may cause problems like semi colon insertion and old javascript parsers breaking. Please check a large range of browsers.

You can use laxbreak:true to bypass line breaking checks.

@Raynos are there seriously any parser that deviate that much from the spec?

This error is still in 2.7.0.

I added "-W014": true to .jshintrc to get rid of this error (

jshint/src/messages.js

Line 90 in e47168f

W014: "Bad line breaking before '{a}'.",

).

@Raynos : Can you recommend a resource for which JS parsers might meet this failure?
