If the statement terminator was mandatory, then it would clearly be a block 
because it's at the start of the statement. But really, I was not asking 
about freestanding blocks, but about if <condition> then <statements> end 
being sugared as if <condition> { statements } (same for while, for, 
function, etc). I believe this does have quite a context right?

To be specific again, I'm not talking about changing the base language 
(flamewars et al). Just asking about mod experience and possibilities for a 
specific use I'm gonna need.

Thanks,
