I'm curious what the response to my example will be. So far I got one

I really don't see the problem with requiring that '{' goes on the same
line as 'if'.
It *isn't* required. But if you don't put it there, *you get the wrong
result*. I really don't understand why the problem with Andrei's example
isn't blatantly obvious to everyone, but I would not want to use any
product of anyone for whom it isn't.
Exactly, that comes as a big surprise to me, too, in that discussion. I
can only hypothesize that some readers just glaze over the example
thinking "ah, whatever... a snippet trying to support some naysay", and
they reply armed with that presupposition.
