I guess we could even live with that. If someone wants the latter 
interpretation (which is kind of infrequent), they could insert a 
semicolon.

Does your implementation support parameterized lambdas? I can 
already see the next ambiguity:

     someRange.each (element) {
         writeln(element);
     }

Do the parentheses belong to the lambda on the right or the 
function on the left?
