Thanks for the idea. I see a few issues with the example. It 
wouldn't handle:

func {
...
stmnt       <-nothing to grab this newline
}

It also won't handle several blank (newline terminated) lines in a 
row because empty won't consume newlines. Adding "newline" to 
statement could cause 2 newlines in a row to be required. But I'll 
play with it now that I have something else to try. 

Thanks,
