It is misplaced: caller knows better what can or cannot follow the expression.
Sometimes even caller's caller: "if (1) return a+b else..." -
parser of "return" does not know that "else" after it is valid,
parser of stmt does not know it either, - only parser of
"if" knows it!
The removed code balked on e.g. "{ print 1 }" statement.
This does not break any valid programs, but starts accepting some
invalid ones, e.g. "print 1 print 2" would work.
