I came from the C camp, where everything looked like {}.
Since my editor supported matching these curly things,
I (usually) pitch camp at { || ... }.
Not sure I know where this return-value camp is at?
Anyone care to provide me a map?

PS: The 'do || ... end' camp keeps telling me that my editor
will match 'do/end' pairs, but I always find the tents
are broken at that camp.

I too like this camp since it is a short hike, but since I
don't like strenuous activitiy, I never nest them.
