Hi Chris Fox

I admire your strict adherence to your preferred standard of curlies.

Standing by your standard, I will be disappointed with the C++ standard reference which has a mixture of them.

From https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/coding-standards

class Foo {
  // ...
  static int xyz;  // ...
  // ...
}

and

namespace {
  // ...
  int xyz;  // See the ...
  // ...
}

and

void mycode()
{
  // do_something_with(xyz);
  ↑↑ // The leading "//" improves ...
}

Their if-else doesn’t follow your approach

if (auto p = m.try_emplace(key, value); !p.second) {
  FATAL("Element already registered");
} else {
  process(p.second);
}
