Heh.  Nope -- if it's to be subshelled, I do not use the braces
around the parens.

that's not an unreasonable use explanation.  I find that a consistent
style and correct indentation work well enough for this though.

I have a consistent style and indentation ("correct" is subjective) :)

... so '} done' should work correctly,
always, if the '}' is a reserved word, and a ';' or newline between them
should not be needed.
