> I've seen this issue myself, and have tried several combinations to fix it. It is trivial to fix this particular case, but because compound_statement is used everywhere problems will pop up other places. The fix here would be some grand-parent-bol function, but if my memory serves that would mess up the else in an if else. I'm happy to see this fixed, but just remember that it's not _super_ trivial.

FWIW, this is an unusual style, so I see no catastrophe if it is not 110%
according to expectations.  Users can easily fix that by tweaking their BOLs
where important.
