I think you're correct. An ExpressionStatment can not begin with a {
so,without changing that rule, there should be no potential for ambiguity
between Block and BlockLambda. The only issue is distinguishing ObjectLiteral
and BlockLambda and from that perspective a {( is as good as a {| as neither
is ambiguous with existing ObjectLiteral syntax,
At that point, it becomes a matter of taste. Which of {|x| x.foo()} or {(x)
x.foo()} looks better to you? I find the | | more pleasant and easer for my
eyes to pick out, but I'm undoubtably influenced by many years of reading and
writing Smalltalk code.
