One may discuss on style for hours but nothing is as  good  as  a
real-world  example  that shows the importance of style. The fol-
lowing code snippet is one such example. What is wrong with it?

     if (is_file($fn)) {
             if ($GLOBALS['cnt']++ % 1000 == 0)
                     echo "\n"; echo ".";
     }

After having stared at the code for about fifteen minutes, I  fi-
nally discovered the problem.

This code snippet serves well as the perfect example  to  confirm
the  decision  of  the Go syntax designers to make the braces for
blocks mandatory.
