I have never, in 20 years of programming, ever made this mistake; nor have I ever had to fix a bug that was caused by it. I generally do insert the braces anyway on the basis of almost a cargo-cult theory that someone else might make this mistake, but only because of received wisdom floating around on newsgroups an the like.
