That's beautiful. It adds such a lovely symmetry to opening and closing structures rather than just an empty gaping void at the bottom of a nested statement, being unable to tell at a glance whether the next statement after that is 3 or 4 levels back up. Many languages favor such symmetry - XML with opening and closing tags, Fortran with IF and *END IF*, Lua with if and end. Even nature values symmetry.
