I have read  Documentation/CodingStyle quite carefully and there is no 
mention of using braces inside functions.  I'm used to using braces to
define minimal scopes for local variables which makes the code easier to
read by minimising the number of variables you need to keep track of
when reading it and by declaring variables closer to where they are used
so it is easier to verify that they have been correctly initialised.

Is this really banned?

Harry.
