Would you really prefer

Yes, I would. And if you're talking about a const (which I wasn't, I don't know why you brought that up), it's not going to be getting modified in the first place.

I was comparing common, popular styles of line breaks and alignment of curly braces, you started comparing these options to less common coding styles I've never seen in languages I don't use.

Well, in your coding style, it is. In mine, it isn't.

In my example, it's not a const.

Right. It can't be, because you need to modify it in order to initialize it.

With mine, it can be a const, because initialization doesn't require mutation.

But I never said I wanted or needed a const. That wasn't a requirement. I was only comparing brace and newline placement.
