Yes, of course: close-brace is only recognized as a reserved word when in
the position to be recognized as the first word of a command, but the
token after a reserved word except 'case', 'for', or 'in' (but including
open-brace) is in such a position. So yes, { } is a valid compound
command. (XCU 2.4 Reserved Words)
