A modest proposal

[Paul M]

Dear Pythoneers,

Inspired by recent postings to this newsgroup I've decided that
Python, and in particular the entire Python user base, has been going
about things all wrong.  I've decided I would like to be able to code
in python something like this:

def fun(a,b,c)
{
    if a eq b:
  if b ne c
                 print "Oooh, random changes are fun"
                   a = b = c
                 end
end
}

Important points to note:

1) I can use whatever god-awful indentation scheme I want
2) Colons after "def" and "if" are purely discretionary
3) The compiler can decide what I mean when I use "="
4) Readability is greatly improved

I can't believe that nobody has changed this before - can't you see
that MILLIONS of users are crying out for these features!

<python-schmython>-ly y'rs - Paul
