You can do this with PHP, too, but it’s on the rare side except in some templating niches.

The reverse-reserved-word convention like ‘fi’ to end an if block in shell (and other?) languages seems like it functions this way too.

And I guess significant indentation also does this job, albeit with some of its own hazards.
