I much prefer double-bracket to double-#: double-# gets caught out when you do s/^/# on code which already includes line-starting # comments. However, I would much rather see a general syntax like (# ... ) {# ... } [# ... ] with no whitespace allowed between the opening bracket and the #: this doesn't seem to conflict with anything. Allowing <# ... > in rules would also be nice. Ben
