The first stage of the formal review for DIP 1003 [1],
"Remove body as a

last-minute
feedback. If you missed the preliminary review [2], this is
your chance
to provide input.
At the end of the feedback period, I will submit the DIP to
Walter and
Andrei for their final decision. Thanks in advance to those
of you who
participate.

Option 1 is good: There is nothing wrong with the current
syntax. [1]
Option 2 is bad: It's the function body, not the function.
Option 3 is ugly: There is no precedent for '...{}{}'
belonging to the
same declaration or statement.
Hmm, I guess it depends on how you format your code.
No, it does not. This was a point about the grammar.
How would you feel about:
if(condition){ then(); }
{ otherwise(); }
I don't see any problem, in fact this is valid code even today -
both in C++ and D.
And my case still stands - if you were to format the code like
this:
if (condition)
{
then();
}
{
otherwise();
}
then the intent would be more obvious. At least in C++ using a
plain scope { }
is common idiom used to explicitly limit the lifetime of RAII
objects declared
within it.
