Curly braces should be on the same line as the definition. Same goes for lines below this one.

53 ↗(On Diff #3550)

Rather than what this code does, perhaps "Comment summarizing the intended purpose of this section of code". Unless the code is particularly difficult to parse, describing what it does is a bit redundant. The intended purpose is often very similar to what it does, but we all know that isn't always the case. :P

Should we leave this in until T214 is completed?

Remove the allowance for single-line if statements.

39 ↗(On Diff #3550)

Presumably lowerCamelCase for local variables too? Can we document that somewhere?

44 ↗(On Diff #3550)

Can you make it explicit that this applies to both functions and class methods?

56 ↗(On Diff #3550)

Braces.

Update based on feedback, and include some additional suggestions

Delete bad examples of comments, fix a function name.

One last clarification on block statements and I think it's good. :)

These are called "block statements". We can clarify this by saying:

  • Always add braces for block statements (if, for, while, etc.).

Update block statement text

Why was this removed ? This is good advice and should be adapted. Plus it has nothing to do with style guide so has nothing to do in that diff anyway.

This isn't a formating rule. While this is a good rule, it has nothing to do burried in the middle of formatting rules.
