title: begin end or brackets for bash?
body: <p>I was trying to do some bash programming and wanted to make it somewhat structural.
  My questions is if I want to make a block code embedded in a bracket like the Pascal begin &amp; end or the C {}, just to put a logically atomic group of commands together, is there a way in BASH to do it.</p>
  
  <p>I can think of using a vacuous conditional or loop, but it's kind of ugly.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
