Older versions of awk would accept the following:
'BEGIN {
stuff
}{
more stuff
}'
New awk doesn't like "}{". However, this is not a bug. The manual
states on p.22 that "The opening brace of an action must be on the
same line as the pattern it accompanies." The implied pattern here
is all input lines so, technically, the oening brace should be on a
line by itself. Be that as it may, old awk scripts may break on this.
