Make "fewerBraces" available outside snapshot releases

I think think this showcases an important misunderstanding: Your proposed parenthesis syntax is the brace syntax !
Let’s look at the original, un-de-braced code:

@sjrd

val perCompanyOrNeutral: Set[AssetType] = Company.AllCompaniesAndNeutral
      .flatMap { company =>
        companyDamAssetNames(company)
          .map { (level, assetName) =>
            AssetType.Image(assetName, AssetPath(s"assets/dam$level-${company.stringID}.png"))
          }.toSet
      }.toSet

And now your final example with parentheses and removed braces:

@shelby3

val perCompanyOrNeutral: Set[AssetType] = Company.AllCompaniesAndNeutral
      .flatMap(company =>
        companyDamAssetNames(company)
          .map((level, assetName) =>
            AssetType.Image(assetName, AssetPath(s"assets/dam$level-${company.stringID}.png"))
          ).toSet
      ).toSet

The only difference is that the multi-line parens become braces!
This is something we learn really early in scala courses, and has not caused me any problems, I find it extremely clean!

Now you might retort that we shouldn’t use multi line lambdas, but as explained in the message your message replies to, this actually makes the code harder to read (regardless of brace/parens/indent)
