Re: PgJDBC: code reformat

>I tend to break up multiple lines.

"Mandatory brackets" plus "open curly on the new line" would result in
too much whitespace.
We do want "mandatory brackets", don't we?

Regarding whitespace, what if using explicit blank lines to separate
logic when required?
Like this: https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/blob/format_code/pgjdbc/src/main/java/org/postgresql/jdbc/PgSQLXML.java#L90-L94

Technically speaking, there is.

Sun style:

if (data == null)
{
  return null;
}

Google style (this one is used by pgjdbc-ng):

if (data == null) {
  return null;
}
