Is there a purpose of what I am dubbing as "blanket brackets" within functions? Example:

await socket.connect({host, port, timeout: 5000});
{ // <--- what is this?
  socket.writeVarInt(0x00);
  socket.writeVarInt(50);
  // ...
}

let response;
// ...

await socket.connect({host, port, timeout: 5000});
{ // <--- what is this?
  socket.writeVarInt(0x00);
  socket.writeVarInt(50);
  // ...
}

let response;
// ...

I've seen this a couple times in open source repos, wondering if that's just an oversight or if this actually does something.

If no variables are defined inside of it, is it just meaningless then?

From a functional standpoint Ok, thanks Ah okay, I do see comments on top of each now. It must just be a visual thing like you said. Nice to know about the variable scoping though.

In this case it makes a lot of sense (writing packets)
