I doubt it: a lot of people have asserted something similar over
the years but I don't remember anyone ever bothering to post
a patch (and if someone has it disappeared without a ripple).

I'm sure some folk can remember local coding styles that suggested
using BEGIN and END as macros for curly brackets in C because
{ and } aren't intuitive.
