That's the problem. We have seen that people already take advantage of the ambiguities, as I would have never have imagined someone writing the code in the rationale of this patch to avoid putting braces.
I appreciate the desire to be precise, but we aren't writing a compiler or an automated syntax checker. We're writing a set of guidelines for reasonable people to follow. If someone sets out to "defeat" CODING_STYLE by introducing some crazy syntax, the solution is simple--just don't take the patch. Good sense must prevail regardless of what CODING_STYLE says.
