Use of braces

A function containing one statement which returns a result:

foo:{x+y}

A function containing many statements which returns a result:

foo:{
  a:first x;
  b:last x;
  a+b}

A multi-line function which does not return a result should always end with an isolated brace.

foo:{
  Sum::x+y;
  Prod::x*y;
  }

A function with one line which does not return a result can be written on a single line, using a semicolon.

foo:{Sum::x+y;}

but consistent use of the isolated brace to mean no result suggests we write:

foo:{
  Sum::x+y;
  }
