It's just not in the coding style, that's all. Making a rule more
complex than need to be is what you're doing here (by interpreting it
incorrectly).
The rule itself is pretty simple: multi-line statements are enclosed
with curly braces; the rule doesn't say that multi-line
if/for/while/... statements are followed by curly braces even if the
statement inside is only a single line statement. I don't see any room
for ambiguity here.
Anyway, personally, I don't mind that one, although I don't think it
makes a difference wrt readability.
Bye,
Axel.
