I can take a pass over to see about converting all to that style.   Would
you even want to see it used where the blocks were more natural, such as

     if (rc != Success && rc != MappingSuccess && rc != MappingFailed &&
         rc != MappingBusy)
         return rc;
- -
- -    rep.success = rc;
- -
- -    WriteReplyToClient(client, sizeof(xSetModifierMappingReply), &rep);
- -    return Success;
+    else {
+        xSetModifierMappingReply rep = {
+            .type = X_Reply,
+            .success = rc,
+            .sequenceNumber = client->sequence,
+            .length = 0
+        };
+        WriteReplyToClient(client, sizeof(xSetModifierMappingReply), &rep);
+        return Success;
+    }
 }

I did like the scope limiting feature of blocks like that, though that's
more about developer efficiency (both in code reading and preventing
premature use of fields before the initialization block) than code/compiler
efficiency.
