We should decide on a standard coding style and enforce it.  the `if ( condition )` style has been hard-wired into my system so I find it more readable, but I think `if (condition)` is more standard.  Even better, maybe we should automate the enforcement of whichever standard by using something like [ClangFormat](http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html).  If we go that route we could also possibly consider using the [clang/llvm static analyzer](http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/), though I don't know how well it would work with microchip's version of C.
