I agree and this is the general style I use, but with one difference.
In my code, I always, always, use braces in an if() statement, even
if the conditional code is only a single statement. For example:

	const bool parsed_ok = PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "Os", &items, &msg);
	if (!parsed_ok)
		{
		return NULL;
		}

I think that makes it more clear and removes any possibility of future
code changes accidentally not adding the braces at that time.

[And yes, about the above indentation, Simon _is_ indeed a Whitesmiths
person. :-)]

Simon.
