Or maybe with macros supporting a trailing statement as the last 
argument:

macro forever($(Statement st));

$forever {
}

That way it's clearer that magic is happening, but also macros 
are by definition inlined. It also doesn't need braces for a 
single statement.

A complication with the delegate way is break/continue/return in 
the statement block, but I suppose it already works for opApply.
