Some people might consider this kind of code is dangerous maintenance-wise:

...
for(...);
...

That is, that the for loop body is empty is kind of overly subtle. (Assumedly all the work is done in the loop statements.)

Therefore, an option which inserts an empty block for those might be nice.

(P.S. I swear I don't want to delay the next release of GNU indent after this long hiatus... but these ideas just keep popping into my mind.)
