The reason we don't use braces in cases like this

  if (use_short_answers)
    {
      return call1 (intern ("y-or-n-p"), prompt);
    }

is that the braces cause fewer real lines of code to fit on the
screen.  Because of that, they are not merely superfluous, they are an
impediment to reading the code.
