which is spoken:
"class test colon new-line indent delta echo foxtrot test no-space underscore 
nospace function nospace left- paren right-paren indent new-line print open-quote 
foxtrot oscar oscar new-line dedent new-line dedent"

now, if you really want to get ugly go change the function name from test_function
to test_subroutine when the only navigation capability you have is by counting 
lines and characters

believe me, it gets old real fast...
