Let me point out that it was the masses of obscure nested dicts that I
was objecting to when I told Greg that the syntax cannot be restricted
to Python (by which I meant Python 1.5). Obviously, by definition any
syntax that we use for Python 2 becomes "Python". In fact, I don't see a
lot of difference between the widely embraced Tim-syntax and the syntax
I posted a few days ago (based on the Tim-syntax). But if putting the
keyword "decl:" in front makes it feel better then I'm all for that!

I'm still thinking that it should go in another file because I want to
be able to experiment with this stuff WITHOUT maintaining a new Python
interpreter binary.
