It's possible, and has been said to be faster. However, I personally find it harder to read quickly. I'd rather see the {}'s used appropriately than not, but that's just my personal preference. At the same time, I don't overdo the ()'s in IF's.
if (this == that && that == this) {}
instead of
if (this == that) && (that == this) {}
or
if ((this == that) && (that == this)) {}
I'll only add the extra ()'s when order of operation is needed. Again, just my personal preference.
