I'm going to assume you mean it is clearer without them, else I don't hear
an argument against beyond "I don't wanna".
For me, I don't see how::
int x = do_something();
if (x != 10)
return NULL;
do_some_more();
is any clearer or more readable than::
int x = do_something();
if (x != 10) {
return NULL;
}
do_some_more();

I personally have come close to screwing up like this, but I caught it
before I put up a patch.
I honestly also prefer the consistency of just always using braces rather
than the sometimes rule we have. It isn't like C is a pretty, safe language
to begin with, so I would rather be consistent and avoid potential errors.
