Uniform syntax for parameter list followed by function body.

              (int x){ return 2; }
      function(int x){ return 2; }
auto separate(int x){ return 2; }
              (int x) => 2;
      function(int x) => 2;
auto separate(int x) => 2;

auto curriedAdd(int x) => (int y) => x + y;

It is a simplification that is also convenient.
