IMHO, another reason to keep the multi-line version is that this does not apply only to compiled C programs, but also to other code in other languages - even the documentation of the "noopt" tag says so :) Keeping the multi-line version allows people to easily adapt it to their packages. Thus, it is good to have an example showing how to do it the if/then/else way, while possibly mentioning the inline version.
