There's an ambiguity between the condition and the body. There needs to 
be some kind of symbol to separate the two. In D, that's the closing 
parenthesis (technically the opening parenthesis is not necessary but 
unbalanced parentheses look weird for humans). In Rust it's the opening 
curly brace.
