I think you will find that you are wrong, and it will not be a problem.
My experience is that I was already using an auto-indenting editor (vim,
but all good editors do this, and most of the bad ones too) and I just
stopped noticing that I wasn't using braces.

I have had other people claim to be skeptical, but once they got going
it was the same as it always was - they didn't change their indentation,
they just didn't use a character to augment the indentation they were
already doing.
