 - Indent each level four spaces



Rules for braces
================

  - if one branch of an if statement has braces, then both brances must
    have braces

	if (foo)
	{
	    something();
	    something_else();
	}
	else
	{
	    blah();
	}

 - if a branch of an if statement spans more than one line, then it must 
   have braces, even if the branch itself is only a single statement

	if (foo)
	{
            a_long_function_name_with_lots (and, lots, and, lots, of
                                            parameters, etc);
	}
	
 - if the condition of an if statement is spans more than one line, then
   the branches must have braces

	if (x && b &&
            some_long_function_is_called_here (argument))
	{
            foo();
	}

 - don't use braces that are not required by the rules above:

	if (something)
            blach();
	else
            yuck();

 - similar rules apply for for and while statements

do-while:
=========

 - do-whiles are formatted like this

	do
	{
            blah();
	} while (foo);
