Fairly common by developers that don't have to maintain code from others.

Clarity trumps clever tricks.

EDIT: To make it clear, if I am reviewing someone's C code, I'll be applying MISRA and Code Complete style rules.

I first saw this trick in the qemu source code.

I didn't say it was quality, but it is someone else's.
