Python-like tabs instead of curley brackets?

I've been following D for a few years now, and I'd like to suggest ditching
the (now completely redundant) curley brackets from the C-like syntax and
borrowing Python's use of tabs to replace them.   I see no reason to keep the
curley brackets now we have nice editors that know about (and can display) tab
characters.  The ideal programming language should have no redundancy, you
shouldn't have to say anything twice, and at present we are still repearting
ourselves with both curley brackets and indentation!  What do you think?
