Why are the curly braces required for a minimal Record declaration?

[Swaranga Sarma]

Records is a new feature and does not carry the same baggage as classes do.
Looking at a minimal Record Point declaration:

record Point(int x, int y) {}

Every part of this declaration makes sense to me expect the curly braces
'{}'. Why is that required if I do no intend do override any part of the
record?

I am probably missing something; appreciate the insight.
