I have anyway never seen the necessity of the keyword "body"
anyway. I fact, I very much dislike it. You could write a function
Fn()
in {}
out() {}
{}
or even better (or at least what I would prefer):
Fn()
{}
in {}
out() {}
The parser will always take the block without preceeding keyword
as the body.
If you leave out "in" and "out", you also don't need the keyword
body. As soon as you add a contract, suddenly you have to add
that nasty "body". As I learned D this was confusing and I still
fail to see the benefit.
If you really feel the need to make explicit where the body
starts, you can add a comment:
Fn()
in
{
}
// body:
{
}
out()
{
}
