Hah!  Not in GNU.
The GNU coding standards want you to indent '{' and '}' x/2 spaces, while 
the code inside is indented x.  So, the result is:

        if (foo)
            {
                bar;
                baz;
            }

Yes, this is bizarre -- but at least GNU folks don't stick the opening
brace in the same line as "if" like certain heretics do.

You can find as many strange coding styles as you can find religions or 
editors.  And all of them have their fanatical believers who are ready to 
stone heathens.
