Careful now: what you're doing here is a matter of personal style. I put the {}
at the same level as the if/while/for and find *that* much easier to understand,
and autoindent works just fine (translation: what are you referring to?). Not
to mention the fact that it lets me use cb(1). Speaking of cb, I have a gripe:

	switch(x) {
	case 1:
		...
	default:
	}

What's wrong with:

	switch(x) {
		case 1:
			...
		default:
	}

Much easier to see the control flow. Especially if you have 2 switches in a
row.
