The feel of the language is very important. We're talking about improving the
syntax to look better here, so of course the subjective look of it matters most.

A thousand times yes. "in" is unfortunate, but adding a keyword would be...
backwards doesn't quite capture it. It would destroy a big portion of the fun
of the entire language.

...but it looks and reads very good. ;-)
The only thing that I find wrong is "in". It just doesn't look delimited
enough. foo.map { bar in bar.boz} is heavy on the eyes, while foo.map { |bar|
bar.boz } would be ideal.
A man can dream, right?
Honestly, I think I understand the tradeoffs involved, so I'm fine with letting
that "in" be.
