This is the kind of argument I wanted to make myself. Is there any chance 
that the vtk style can be relaxed to read something like

"It is encouraged to place a bracket on a separate line, however, if code 
is clearly laid out and indented carefully, the bracket may be placed on 
the same line...etc etc...Consistent bracketing must be used throughout 
each source file..."

I drop the other requests in the hope this may make the above palatable.
