The way to do that is to use spaces to align the stuff in the if
statement.

if (long_ blah blah blah blah blah blah ==
this part lines up with the 'l' in "long_")
frob();

Read CodingStyle. One other thing is that in staging we prefer if
multi-line indents have braces around them even if it's not needed.

Ugly:
for (i = 0; i < 100; i++)
if (x) {
frob();
frob();
frob();
}

Nice to look at:
for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
if (x) {
frob();
frob();
frob();
}
}
