Oh there is no talk about suggesting we force things onto a single line.
Putting if(foo) bar(); on the same line is just plain wrong, what I
referred to was this:

    if (foo)
        bar();

vs
    if (foo) {
        bar();
    }

If it is part of a multi-block if()/else block yes it's good for
consistency, if it is a one off in the code, it doesn't add any value
IMHO, it is a loss because it wastes space for no reason.

Cheers,
