It bloats the code, and makes it less readable.

[My conjecture is that the latter happens because braces are so visually
striking that they attract the eye; for _long_ blocks, this property of
braces helps, because it makes it easier to find them amongst the rest
of the code, but for _short_ blocks, it hurts, because it draws the eye
away from the actual code, and emphasizes structure at a time when
structure doesn't need emphasizing (because it's utterly obvious already
with such short blocks).]
