This not a MooTools but just a general JavaScript question.

I was just curious about the usage of the { in if statements.

Given the 2 blocks below:

if (variable == 'value')
    doonestatement;

OR

if (variable == 'value') {
    doonestatement;
}

Is there any benefit to putting the { around the statement to execute if
there is only one statement to execute?  I have seen code both ways, where
there is never a { if there is only one statement and code where there is a
{ no matter how many statements there are to execute after an if statement.

Is it just a matter of personal preference or does it provide a speed
performance or is there other reasons?
