Your right of course, but I don't think it really even needs to be
said. I mean whether or not Python is the only language that uses
white space in a significant manner doesn't change the fact that..
well Python can do whatever the heck Python wants to do with its
syntax. Honestly I wonder how so many coders actually came to be
interested in the field -- one that pretty much thrives in part on its
neverending ability to vary, grow, and change -- if something so small
can warrant so much attention.
