Hm, I see what you mean—right now we unilaterally consume a closing brace when we exit the loop. The easiest way to solve this is to extract the parsing loop and the T.consumeClose() into a helper function, with an early return for the @end case...but that's not exactly pretty. I guess I'll let you make the call (or stand by the call you already made).
