Crystal: bracket style blocks around if statments

[wontruefree]

Right now if statements only has an if and end like.

if true
  x = foo
end

It would be nice to also have the option to have bracket block style arguments if statements like.

if true {
  x = foo
}

This would enable a more c style structure but would be more flexible.

I think it will conflict with the block argument to the calling method in the conditional.

if [1, 2, 3].any? { |x| x == 1 }
  x = foo
end

I don't see any benefit from that. It would just be another way to do the same thing and we try to avoid that in Crystal. It's a purely stylistical issue. So I don't suppose this is worth pushing forward.

I was also going to comment about the syntax conflict. I don't think this will ever happen.
