I'm usually fine with code like this:
if ( ... )
return
But when there is a multi-line 'else' clause, I just want to use braces
for both 'if' and its 'else'. So, for consistency, I'm +1 for
recommending to use braces everywhere.
And +1 for requiring to use braces if one of the clauses of the 'if'
statement is multi-line.

While doing a review of http://bugs.python.org/review/26129/ I asked
to have curly braces put around all `if` statement bodies. Serhiy
pointed out that PEP 7 says curly braces are optional:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0007/#id5. I would like to change
that.
My argument is to require them to prevent bugs like the one Apple made
with OpenSSL about two years ago:
https://www.imperialviolet.org/2014/02/22/applebug.html. Skipping the
curly braces is purely an aesthetic thing while leaving them out can
lead to actual bugs.
Anyone object if I update PEP 7 to remove the optionality of curly
braces in PEP 7?
