Proposal: do not use parenthesis when using single non-compound statements

[jgoc]

The parenthesis will be confusing if there are extra parenthesis surrounding it. Parenthesis could simply be used for grouping compound statements like if (true==true) || true { and the character count could also be reduced.

Before:

<%= if (true) { %>
  <!-- some html here -->
<% } %>

After:

<%= if true { %>
  <!-- some html here -->
<% } %>

@Mido-sys I'm curious to read what you think about this. I think it would make sense to make parenthesis optional in the if statement but I'm not how much effort would that imply.

@paganotoni ,

Yes, it's doable. It shouldn't be hard. But we should also allow it for loops. To make it constant.

Ah! Good catch. Yes, that would be good.
