Using c++-mode, don't know what version, but the most recent comment
is this:

;; Feb, 1990 (Dave Detlefs, dld@cs.cmu.edu)
;;   Fixed electric-c++-terminator to handle double colons, at the
;;   request of John Hagerman.

Anyways, the question is this: can/should electric-c++-brace be automatically
inserting newlines (cariagle returns, whatever) and indent after I press '{'?
It currently doesn't, and I would like it to.

 i.e. typing

 if(wokka_wokka_wokka){ 

should yield

 if(wokka_wokka_wokka)
 {
   .<- cursor should land here

all without me having to press return either after the { or after it
indents in the newline.

So.. am I asking too much? 

While I'm at this wish list, has anyone written anything that does this:

 if(wokka_wokka_wokka){

yields

 if(wokka_wokka_wokka)
 {
   .<- cursor lands here
 }

I know that an editor called brief (my girlfriend uses it at work) does 
this, but I don't use brief.
