ok here's a more usual situation in which the programmer is blindly using their favorite bracketing style, and come across the issue...

function getObject()

{

    return       // returns undefined, not the object.

    {

        age: 30,

        name: "axod"

    }
}

Personally I hate that style of bracketing, but some swear by it.

Yeah, not really my favourite bracketing style either. Good example though - it is conceivable that this could happen.
