</span>Cute! Wonder, how many more years we have to wait till Guido says that<br>
it would have been nice to support stream syntax and braces compound<br>
statements right from the beginning. Just imagine full power of lambdas<br>
in our hands! Arghhh! With all unbelievable goodness being pushed into<br>
the language nowadays, someone should really start pushing into<br>
direction of supporting alternative syntaxes.<br>
