// The compiler tries to parse this as a struct initializer.
auto foo = { while (doSomething()){} }; // Error: expression expected, not
'while'

There are several workarounds to this.

auto foo = { while (doSomething()){;} }; // Insert a semicolon somewhere.
auto foo = (){ while (doSomething()){} }; // Add a ParameterList.
auto foo = delegate void (){ while (doSomething()){} }; // A full delegate
expression.
