I prefer braces for grouped statements as well for single statements,
simply for consistency and clarity.

Anyone else have this preference?
Why not? Braces are for grouping statements in a conditional, loop or
even a function/method. There is no sense in grouping just one
statement, and languages know that very well.
I'm following this thread and it seems to me like we're trying to
strictly specify the coding standard for a code-generating robot, not
for a community of humans. Maybe we're going too far with this?
