I don't think this is sufficient: what if I want to type a one-line 
function or object literal (say, an empty one)? Or an empty for, while 
or catch body? I'd have to remove the added newline(s) and whitespace in 
each such instance.

I'd much prefer a workflow where electric-layout-mode doesn't do 
anything until I press Return, and then does the autopair-newline thing 
if point is directly between two parens.
