Anyone who writes deeply nested C (or C-like) code without braces needs to be whacked upside the head with a cluestick, not encouraged by their editor.

Well, the choice is more like, supporting well-defined nesting following (somewhat) deterministic rules that can be expressed via TextMate’s system versus adding a full C++ parser and a zillion options about preferences about how multi-line statements should be split, indented, and aligned ;)

The code example I gave may arise as a temporary state before having added braces, after removing some, or similar.
