It has the same problem as parens that it is ordinarily used with something that could be parsed as an expression: + is used to disambiguate braces as a hash constructor, for which purpose other expressionish hints would work just as well. Unlike parens, it fails to make clear where the expression ends, and it results in the expression ending with the closing brace of a code block, which as previously noted is confusing. -zeframThread Previous
