I'm not sure it's completely documented anywhere.

The brackets are not needed if there's one statement after the if, but
for readability, it's sometimes best to put brackets in if there's more
than one line. That can even include comments. It's not a hard rule,
but more of a preference. I'm personally OK with the above, but Peter
being the maintainer, has the say to give the preference of this kind
of rule.
