It is a serious suggestion. Our editors are flexible enough to allow us to use control keys to generate these characters. Our ethnocentric, ASCII limited view of programming languages would benefit from more flexibility when it increases readability. Jon Jon Conradt —— j

In the spirit of “show me, don’t tell me” and experience reports. How hard would it be to release a beta which supports both [] and guillamets? We try them. We see where we have compatibility problems. We give editor writers and plugin writers a chance to simplify they keystrokes? Jon On Tuesd

While names arguments like foo(x= 1.0, y = 23) may look like syntactic sugar, I think you are right that they improve readability, especially of long argument lists. The counter argument I suppose if that you could pass structs around, but that gets ugly fast. Thinking about how this would be
