Bill, I take your point, but missing braces and screwed up whitespace can cause real bugs, the most famous recent example being the goto fail bug:

VTK's Whitesmiths style isn't supported by modern tools, and once we get away from it we can do things like autoformatting, git hooks that reject incorrect formatting, dashboard check of formatting, etc. 

See you guys Wednesday!

Cheers,
