Another solution :  
Handle a special mode (breathe deeply and enjoy - without any parenthesis juggling) in the parser at the do form level.  
Most frequently the do form expects quickly a line break after the statement of the args.  
One can capture there the first ‘;’ before first NL, its left side, and give it back as a passing of some named args.  
Some work for [@c42f](https://github.com/c42f) ?
