+2. Replacing them all by a single "end" or "}" statement might make
it harder to spot a missing close statement, it would require a
complete rewrite of the matchit plugin, and all that for little
benefit. Do we have a common end bracket for (, [ and { ? No. So why
have one for if, for, while and func? OTOH, IMHO what we have now is
clearer than (for the sake of less typing) replacing them by fi, rof,
elihw and cnuf (or noitcnuf).
If a single end statement had been wanted, Vim could have used
begin..end statement brackets à la ALGOL and required the use of a
single imperative statement or begin..end block inside if, while, etc.
statements; but it didn't take that route and IMHO it's too late now.
Best regards,
Tony.
