When a statement has a nested statement which spans multiple lines we want to keep the braces at the "complex" levels, i.e. only remove simple caes.

// remove braces
if (a)
    B;



// Add braces
if (a) {
     try {
     }
}

// Add braces at outer level, remove at inner
if (a) {
     if (b)
         c
}

If a statement's nested statements cover multiple lines (short of wrapped lines) it should have braces. One could add a depth parameter to get. 

if (a)
     if (b)
         c

but
if (a) {
     if (b)
         if (c)
             d
}

Yet another option could be to consider comments when counting lines

if (a) {
     // c
     b
}

or 

if (a)
     // c


Default should be to count comment lines and add braces.
