that is basically exactly how i code and have always done so... i made a 
decision a looooooooong time ago to avoid the possibility of "ambiguous" coding 
such that i do not take shortcuts (for the most part) and possibly end up with 
something that doesn't work as intended... the handing "else" comes to mind 
(even though i had never heard it specified like that before)...

granted, in cases of one liners depicted above, i may or may not do the 
begin/end "wrapping"... it all depends on the situation and, as written by 
myself before, my mood... this is true for not just "if" statements but all 
other "decision tree" types...
