The discussion about using indentation as block delemeter is a holly
war about personal preferences IMHO.

There is a strong argument against enforced indentation: Automatic
code generation is hard or even impossible in languages like Python.
I don't think it makes any sense in languages with generics.

Much more important is an  orthogonal and consistent syntax...
