I'm not too wedded to either (I personally prefer Allman for C++, but
K&R braces for C, Rust, JavaScript, and other "braced" languages[1], though
I've preferred using "} else {" to the style here[2]).

No matter what, can we please (continue to) enforce that braces are
*always* used even if the innards are a single line?

[1]Rust, JS, and Java have style guidelines. C is usually because the
projects in C I work on are contributions and copying upstream is best.
