IMO, that example is a case in where if the style is "minimal braces"
that's still a good case to retain it. The if condition is across
multiple lines, and the brakes make it clearer (to me) where the statement
is.
This all comes down to a matter of style, where some people
prefer "purple" and some prefer "orange", yet the arguments are
often claimed to be (by all concerned) as "technical reasons".
I thought the only two color choices were green and purple given the Bab 5 heritage of the project...
