I've always wondered why people like to have lines containing only a
brace and nothing else. It limits the amount of code you can see on
the screen without scrolling (or the amount of code which fits on one
page of a printout) without adding any information at all. It also
doesn't improve the readability, if you read the block structure by
indentation rather than by counting braces.
I would have written the above code like this:
if (ifClauseExample) {
for(forExample = 1; ;) {
if(oneLineIf)
shouldLookLikeThis(); }}
Much more compact and readable, IMHO.
