It's really a nitpick, but the CodingStyle[1] says:

"Do not unnecessarily use braces where a single statement will do.
[...]
This does not apply if only one branch of a conditional statement is a
single statement; in the latter case use braces in both branches:

        if (condition) {
                do_this();
                do_that();
        } else {
                otherwise();
        }"
