At the last SOB meeting we agreed that we would prefer the standard be enforced and that [:x] be considered improper. Make it sew, Mr Tailor...

Fix bug in SHParserST80: Wrong styling after blocks with arguments without statements
If you mean that Shout should accept [ :x ], then no, I'm pretty sure that's not valid smalltalk syntax, even if Parser accepts it. The vertical bar, even though I consider it unnecessary in all cases, is mandatory when there are arguments.
I only got to know this "shortcut syntax" because eliot used it either Cog or somewhere in trunk when preparing something (Spur? full block closures? I forgot). So this is a syntax idiosyncrasy that is in active use, not only "old code".
Either we forbid it in the parser and change all of the image or allow it in Shout.
