Pattern: Malformed curly braces

Issue: -

Description

Enforces braces for if/for/do/while statements.

Rationale:

if (foo === bar)
    foo++;
    bar++;

In the code above, the author almost certainly meant for both foo++ and bar++ to be executed only if foo === bar. However, he forgot braces and bar++ will be executed no matter what. This rule could prevent such a mistake.
