Mr. Hodel, I understand your friendly intention, but I didn't meant to "extend" the joke in #5054 (btw:  I find an "endall" not a joke, but a worthy construct, too).

I would really like to have the ability to use "}" (or possibly another char) in order to end a block started by "module, class, def" etc.

Feature #5065: Allow "}" as an alternative to "end"

I've noticed issue #5054, subjecting an "endall".

module MyModule
  class MyClass
    def my_method
      10.times do
        if rand < 0.5 
          p :small
        endall


To reduce typing, but to keep the levels, the following construct could be allowed:

module MyModule
  class MyClass
    def my_method
      10.times {   # "10.times do" would work, too
        if rand < 0.5 
          p :small
        }
      } 
    }
  } 
}

The speciality of this language would be, that an opening brace is not necessary

Several constructs allow already the use of "{}" (do / end), thus this would be possibly the consistent way to reduce typing effort, but to keep the structure intact.
