On a similar note, has the possibility of using more traditional brackets (i.e. "{" and "}") been discussed? It would help those of us who like to hit a key to jump to the other end of the current block. (I know, I know, in emacs you can do it -- you can do anything in emacs -- but somtimes I happen to want to use vi..) I assume there's no chance of this, since it would complicate the syntax, it's not backwards-compatible, it would probably result in ambiguities with procs and hashes , etc. But I thought I'd mention it... -- Steven "I was sad because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet and I said, 'Got any shoes you're not using?'"
