Me. If that statement is 2D I expected to see a table structure.  And I
don't mean that the source code itself is arranged in lines and columns
but that the so called *2D statement* can be seen as table.

Then is the lack of curly braces also a syntax wart.  Maybe you should
switch to a different language or write a preprocessor.
