Feature #7019

allow `private` and `protected` keywords to take blocks

Description

I like to indent my private methods one level deeper, but this indentation is inconsistent with the syntax:

class C
  def f
    #
  end
  private
    def g
    #
    end
end

I think it would be nice if the private keyword could take a block, then i would write:

class C
  def f
    #
  end
  private do
    def g
    #
    end
  end
end
