I would like to eventually be able to have a function like this (trivial 
contrived example):

repeat(int times, void delegate() d)
{
    foreach(int i; 0..times)
        d();
}

And call it like this:

repeat(3)
{
    // Do stuff
}

Instead of needing to use the current awkwardness of:

repeat(3,
{
    // Do stuff
});

If changing "foo!(bar)" to "foo{bar}" would cause problems with that, then 
I'd be against it. Otherwise, I'd be ok with the change, provided that it 
didn't end up becoming visually confusing in terms of "Is that a big 
template parameter list, or a statement block?"
