Well, I disagree. I very rarely put blank lines in a function
in any language, because it makes it hard to scan the code
visually and pick out the beginnings of functions. So while
they may help readability locally, they hurt it globally.

If I find myself needing to put blank lines in a function in
order to make it readable, I take it as a sign that the
function ought to be split up into smaller functions.
