Not in my REPL (node 0.10.33).
```
$ node

{ a: 1 }
```
What the Node.js REPL effectively appears to do, AFAICT, is some sort
of evented try-catch. Though, @Gary, I agree 100% with what you said
about being very against it. It would require a lot more context to
figure out if something returns an object, as `{a, b, c}` is
technically both a valid block and object (using shorthand
properties). The problems would then become non-obvious and difficult
to diagnose in practice.
