Ouch. You really like that? I'm scared. Then again, I prefer the
else on the next line:
/* the usual path */
if (something) {
stuff();
}
else if (something_else) {
more_stuff();
}
/* because you can comment between the cases */
else {
other_stuff();
}
But I'm not tied to a particular style here - whitespace arguments
are reasonable either way.
....
I think we're bikeshedding here. Let's codify what's there rather than
trying to invent out favourite style.
Bron.
