The current assumption is that the "{" starts the action for the pattern
"NR==3".

Although the implicit action (i.e., print the line) isn't rare, having
such a line followed by the implicit pattern (i.e., match everything) is
surely uncommon enough not to make it the default assumption.

I think this default is fine as it is.  It is, of course, possible to
configure auto newlines to behave as you suggest.
