I didn't mean a indentation-block as in Python, but just to use a colon
with one-statement blocks. Multi-statements blocks would look the same.

class Foo
   def foo
      a = "foo"
      a
   end
   def bar: "bar"
end

The indentation of the statement following the colon would be ignored.
It looks prettier than the double semicolon to me.
With multilines blocks I can't see any reason to change the do .. end
syntax.
