Maybe for some people, but I've never been able to read C code
like that. I always have to run it through 'indent' to put the
braces on separate lines.  When working on code that requires
'old-style' indentation, the process is:

 1) run it through indent so I can read it
 2) edit/compile/test
 3) run it through indent again to restore old indentation
