Code like
if (expr) {
line1;
line2;
} else
line3;
looks odd and can cause people to later add bugs along the lines of
if (expr) {
line1;
line2;
} else
+ line3a;
line3;
this is particularly the case if line3 is long, or is preceded by a
comment. This has happened in the past.
Adding the missing braces reduces the risk that this will occur.
