I may have used misleading wording; I was replying to John's
"languages [...] that used braces".

So "working with begin/end parenthesis or braces." should be
read as "working with begin/end-parenthesis or -braces", or
better as "working with parenthesis or braces with begin/end
meaning".

Sorry for the confusion.
