Not if you are obliged (against your will) to write maximum-80-column
code, it isn't. In that circumstance, wrapping lines is very, very
common.

You are also forgetting that any statement block { ... } is
effectively a single statement, and that, if (...) { ... } else { ...
} is also a single statement. And within any statement, passing a
delegate literal to a function - e.g foo(delegate int(int x){ ... });
is still a single expression. In fact the whole concept of what is or
is not a "single statement" is really quite nebulous.

I suppose you could always make indentation significant too. But
here's an idea - how about, let's not.

Please let's keep our semicolons.
