In the Xtext 2.0/2.1 Documentation, chapter 12.2.5/13.2.5 about Functions, there is the example function definition in old Xtend 1.0 style

def boolean equalsIgnoreCase(String s1, String s2) :
s1.toLowerCase() == s2.toLowerCase();

But this example is not accepted by the Xtend parser, it complains
Quote:

mismatched input ':' expecting '}'

Clearly, the syntax

def boolean equalsIgnoreCase(String s1, String s2) 
{ s1.toLowerCase() == s2.toLowerCase() }

works fine. Maybe the documentation should be adjusted, or did I overlook something?

Documentation must be off: would you kindly file a bugzilla for this?
