GNU coding style is not quite that, it would be better IMHO to use
GNU coding style which is this:


function example () 
{
   print "bla";
   if (1 != 1) 
     {
       print "blo";
     }
}
 
Top-level (ie: function) bodys are not indented, all other blocks are
indented. The indentation level is 2 spaces.

GNU coding style can be found online here:

http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards_toc.html

I recommend it.
