I remember the do { ... } while(0) in macros coming up on another list, 
and it basically boiled down to:

#define FOO() do { ... } while(0)

if (xxx)
	FOO();
else
         bar();

If you only use { }, then the above doesn't compile.  If you never use 
conditional blocks without braces anyway, then it probably doesn't matter.
