I think that, for me at least, it'll be close enough to C to be
really confusing. (I already have the problem of leaving parens off
of my function calls when I write XS code...) There's a certain
appeal to not having to swap in almost-but-not-quite-the-same sets of
punctuations when moving from language to language.
