I'm not sure how much of a problem it is, especially given that Go has a
strict style guide, but the objection has come up that these two are
very different:

   if i < f() {
       g()
   }

and

   if i < f()
   {
       g()
   }

In the second case, a semicolon is inserted on the same line as the if.

However, like I said, in idiomatic Go, this is simply not a done thing.
