Oh there is no talk about suggesting we force things onto a single line. Putting if(foo) bar(); on the same line is just plain wrong, what I referred to was this: if (foo) bar(); vs if (foo) { bar(); } If it is part of a multi-block if()/else block yes it's good for consistency, if it is a one off in the code, it doesn't add any value IMHO, it is a loss because it wastes space for no reason.
