Unfortunately, that > wasn't the case. Actually, it is impossible to write a simple script which converts all cases reliably. There are certain ambiguities in the C constructs which are not resolvable by a simple sed substitution. And thus, the original script focused on what can be done without damaging the source-code. One could change indent or some other tool which fully understands the semantics of the C language to automatically convert most of the source-code though.
