This provides no extra functionality (you can do it just as well using
.foo .bar { .. } or so) and complicates implimentation and parsing.
Also, since clients aren't likely to be written with this sort of format
in mind, it's going to have rather poor backward compatibility; when the
client see's the extra { it'll either ignore it, or imply the }; neither
of which will result in the desired behavior.
