I understand that it is the current practice, and I do not advocate
those uses to be flagged as incorrect.  I propose to change the
documentation such that this use is not proposed as a valid use anymore,
such that there are braces in future manuals, and also when people
change manuals they use braces.

We could have a warning in the future, but it is not what I am
advocating right now.
