astyle adding braces to single-statement blocks

Hi,

I've been trying to get asyle to reformat C++ code such that every statement in a for() loop body gets brackets placed around it (while, if, etc. also desirable).

e.g. the code

Code:

for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) 
    for(int j = 0; j < 10; j++)
        arr[i][j] = i*j;

would be converted to

Code:

for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) 
{
    for(int j = 0; j < 10; j++)
    {
        arr[i][j] = i*j;
    }
}

The asyle -j option only does this for the second loop, which gives the following. I'm using -A1 style btw.

Code:

for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) 
    for(int j = 0; j < 10; j++)
    {
        arr[i][j] = i*j;
    }

Any help would be appreciated. If it's not possible with the current astyle, how hard is it to modify the astyle code for such functionality?

EDIT:
I may be mistaken, but from the source code it appears that this functionality has been explicitly disabled, which is a shame (as I don't know how to fix it quickly without destroying everything). Lines 5286 of ASFormatter.cpp have the telltale code (a 'header' is defined as a for/while/if/etc. keyword):

Code:

	// do not add if a header follows
	if (isCharPotentialHeader(currentLine, charNum))
		if (findHeader(headers) != NULL)
			return false;

This can't simply be removed, as the next lines find the first ';' character to put a bracket after (this will screw up a for loop, for example - actually it will screw up an already-bracketed block too). Any help fixing the code still appreciated
