Description:
------------
I find the alternative syntax for control structures quite useful and use them exclusively in all my code. My only wish is that they become available for all similar structures. Obvious ones which come to mind are Function and Class.


It has been said that:

"The 'endif;' stuff is old legacy syntax and is definitely not the
recommended way of doing things."

It seems to me that the "{...}" form goes a ways back as well. Is the alternative syntax really frowned upon? What kind of trouble might be caused by it's use?

Thanks,
Richard
