Which can be entirely avoided by making the braces mandatory rather than
optional. This is one thing perl got right:
while (foo); # parse error
while (foo) next; # parse error
while (foo) { next; } # ok
while (foo) { } # ok
And if you compile C++ without a lint checker, well, you're playing with
fire. :)
