Indeed. Perhaps Gary meant less formal ambiguity, as Caitlin did earlier 
in thread -- in which case we could future-proof or perhaps just help 
people by proscribing { L: 42 } from being parsed as a ConciseBody. I'm 
curious to know what you think about this idea. It seems best done with 
parametric productions, but I haven't worked it out yet.
