Just to ensure, the new simplified method syntax is only for 
single assignment methods, right?

I haven't detail studied the AssigmentStatement grammar but is 
there any possibility that the new syntax can be abused? For 
example starting new entire statement blocks and that way 
creating a new ugly way of writing methods.

The reason not allowing the lamda syntax was to have a single way 
of writing methods. If we allow the new syntax, the we need 
restrictions for that one as well so that it doesn't become a 
Frankenstein.
