Me neither. But it's annoying to have at least 3 different style 
guidelines for C-style syntaxes.

   if (a) b;

   if (a)
     b;

   if (a) {
     b;
   }

   if (a)
   {
     b;
   }

   if (a)
     {
     b;
     }

   if (a)
     {
       b;
     }

And so on :).

Compare that with how many choices you have when using "if ... end"!
