Thanks for weighing in on this, Kero. I can't help but feel if this
thread stays alive long enough, something good will come from it. :)

I sympathize with your comment above, but I have a habit in Ruby
almost from Day 1 of using braces for one-line blocks and do/end for
multiple lines.

Personally I'd rather just remember that containers contain things,
and non-containers have default actions.

Besides, someday someone would exchange {} for do/end and wonder why
his code didn't change behavior. ;)

Hmm, we should get vruz in on this. (vruz, are you listening??) He is
very interested in gui toolkits and their usability.
