On that note, I think that most of the ways that gofmt changes things is
nice but I think I'm disabling its use from now on because more than a few
times I have seen my line count expanded massively when most of the
statement blocks were just one statement. I appreciate the simplification
it makes to the compiler to enforce all statement blocks regardless of how
many statements inside are wrapped, but I don't think it makes sense to add
two lines just to do something as simple as a break statement.
