Geese, some people. Complaining about one of the greatest and cleanest feature
of Python syntax (its indentation of code blocks) is like complaining about
having to have an orgasm during sex.

Anyone who doesn't see the clean virtues of indentation as opposed to braces,
Lisp paranthesis, or what have you, has a screw loose.
