Yeah. FWIW, I concur with Jan that this is a readability improvement.
A comment and a statement always look like two statements to me ---
and the fact that pgindent insists on inserting a blank line in front
of the comment in this scenario does even more to mangle the visual
impression of what the "if" controls. +1 for the braces.
