Since vala disregards whitespace, it has no reason to change the syntax:

signal_name.connect ( (...) => {
    ...
});

I think genie should have something more flexible than the current
syntax (it can't be passed as a parameter to methods, and special-casing
the connect method of signals won't work because async methods also need
this feature). However, I can't find a good idea for this : even python
does only have the "expression" version of the lambda (and not the
"block" one).
