   For me, the latter is unreadable (it's hard to see where is the inner
block, and where is the outer; where are the make_ajax_call's arguments and
where are the function's arguments and body) even if the function is 1-2
line(s) long; if the function's body is longer the style becomes completely
unacceptable for my not so sharp eyes and brain.

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
