Well, I used to place opening curly brackets on their own new lines as
we do with functions (pre-libvirt) and this is something I had to get
used to.

Anyway, I'd be more than OK with changing contributor guidelines and
saying that we require curly brackets if either a) the body or b) the
condition itself spans over multiple lines.  syntax-check for that is
*way* easier ;)
