During the golden age of sail, there was a saying, never go to sea with two 
chronometers. Take one, or three, but never two.

Obviously the lesson here is that programming languages should have *three* 
ways of setting out the structure:

    if condition:
        {
          BEGIN
            code goes here
          }
        END
