Once compiled it makes no difference whatsoever whether you use the block or not. (OK you caught me thats an ASSUMPTION however if it did make a difference, then how stupid would that be!)

I have even used it when there is only one line in the block, but it added readability to the code by allowing an otherwise long line of code to be shorter.

Mind you I do have a tendancy to name my classes somewhat descriptively... plus I don't like using the _ character to split lines for some reason. I think I am too used to C++, Java, Lisp in that respect
