In C this notation really look ridiculous: just a single
  {
in a line.

Funny: I do use a single "end;" (or "};" in C. (in fact always with a
";" even if this might not be totally "state of the art"). Perhaps it
would be even better to define the begin to be "outside" of the block
and the end to be "inside":

code 11
if x then begin
  code21;
  code22; end;
code 12;

looks really nice and consistently done to me right now, but I don't
remember to have ever seen this anywhere.
