Digressing: the odd thing is that our expectation that curly braces will only be used in matching pairs is a very recent notion. Go back to pre-computer typography, and vertical braces were often used singly. Traditionally, braces grouped things vertically, rather than enclosing things horizontally. It's a typographical device that we seem to have lost because of the limitations of our technology.
