I must admit I do not get this "indicate intentions twice" argument,
even though I heard it a number of times now... It's not that braces
require more work or more typing or something, after all -- at least
not if one is using a decent editor.
Really, typing brace after function/if/etc should add newlines and
indent code as required -- automatically. Actually, for me, it is even
*less* typing in C and similar languages... I probably should teach my
Emacs to automatically add newline after colon in Python, just as it
does after a brace in C... As soon as I figure out how to deal with
dictionary literals. Hmmm.
