Ah.  Yes, "1.0." bothers me a little, too, but the latter "." soon fades
into the woodwork; you stop noticing it, or even noticing typing it. 
Like the ":" Python uses (and Pixy uses too) for block headers.

Or I could use something really obnoxious for a statement separator,
like @ or ? (neither of which, according to my little list, currently
have any meaning in Pixy).
