Another aspect: Many non-english keyboards discriminate against
brackets. On a swedish keyboard it's a pain to type both {} and [] (it
involves using your thumb!).

In general I have no problems with explicit bracketing, but I prefer
"do.. end" over "{ ... }". The former is usualy just as fast to type
as the latter, and it's "localization-safe".
