It bloats the code, and makes it less readable. [My conjecture is that the latter happens because braces are so visually striking that they attract the eye; for _long_ blocks, this property of braces helps, because it makes it easier to find them amongst the rest of the code, but for _short_ blocks, it hurts, because it draws the eye away from the actual code, and emphasizes structure at a time when structure doesn't need emphasizing (because it's utterly obvious already with such short blocks).] -Miles -- Run away!
