Oh, that's interesting.  I don't generally have an objection to 'foo' on the
same line for simple statement as, like you said, it saves a lot of vertical
space and the lack of curly's is more of an issue with:
    if (yes)
       foo;

I try to avoid the C-ism of default conversion of pointers to a bool
comparison.
