True, but some folks (me included) really hate it, when different
bracing is used *within* the same statement. The example above really is
horrible. If one if/else-if clause needs braces, just brace them all. This
loses no vertical space (the dangling else excluded) and some folks find
it visually more pleasing/easier to read.

... hence begins the bikeshedding.
