If you mess up your braces, or work with a team who do things
differently from you, there's an easy solution: use a formatter. :)

You can even stick a line in your make file that formats code according
to the group's standard at compile time, just to make everyone happy
with a minimum of human effort. It'll take .. microseconds for the
computer to reformat things? Geee.....
