When programming against a fluent API, I've seen the style mostly like this:
var obj = objectFactory.CreateObject()
    .SetObjectParameter(paramName, value)
    .SetObjectParameter(paramName, value)
    .DoSomeTransformation();
What is the reasoning behind putting the dot at the beginning of the line instead of the end of the line like this:
var obj = objectFactory.CreateObject().
    SetObjectParameter(paramName, value).
    SetObjectParameter(paramName, value).
    DoSomeTransformation();
Or, is it merely a style thing that a team makes a consensus on?
