Jon,
MathTool has many very short and similar methods. I felt that in this very
special case the file is easier to maintain if the methods are formatted
in the compact way shown below.
I know it's against the convention, but I believe conventions have to be
applied with some commen sense. This is a very special case that warranted
an exception in my view. In general, I do support the conventions.
I don't want to waste time and bandwidth on this issues. If one single person
on this list feels that the standard bracket convention should also be applied
in this specific case I am going to change the file and make it conform.
