Then let's step back. You can make a scope block without having 'if' or any other statment that separates it.unittest { int x; { x++;//code block is valid } Now if you attach that to a variable it's effectively a delegate, function, or predicate; depending on syntax of how it's called. auto y = delegate void(){ x++; }; auto y = (){ x++; }; //shortened to auto y = { x++; }; //if no calling variables gets shortened to..?? Now if there's only type declarations and no instructions, it can be an anonymous struct (probably), but what if it has code? Is it a code block? The code gets defaulted to a function inside it? Illegal to do period? (at which point it breaks regular compatibility most likely).
My suggestion is for anonymous structs, nothing else. It can only contain declarations of fields. I would thought that was pretty clear, especially since the subject says "Anonymous structs" and not something like "Anonymous delegates".
I also showed how the syntax is lowered into a regular named struct, which would make things even more clear. But apparently not.
