None of the useful stuff that has been added is redundant. At least I
don't remember any addition that could be left away, and the code
would run exactly the same.

End markers are not any more explicit than using just the white space
for blocks.

Besides, this discussion is rather pointless because Python already
supports blck end markers. See pindent.py in your Python distribution
or at:
