In addition to having a hidden control structure, I strongly urge you not
to omit braces. I would write:

	if(something){
		somethingelse
	}

This makes the structure much clearer when this is embedded in a lot
of other code, and reduces the likelihood of errors when you add something
to the action taken if the condition is true.
