Lol Yeah - it all goes back to how you were first taught - and how much
Fortran77 you did...
I concede this has no chance of changing.  
I even said, it's got the much of weight of the WP code base going
against it.

Text searching for "} else {"  and hex searching for "65 6C 73 65 0A"
reveals that you're probably right on that.  But there are a number both
ways.  As long as they are indented consistently, the second way doesn't
bother me.  It's just too easy to have the wrong indentation.

Good, idea.
