	Interesting -- since I find Python to effectively be "executable
pseudo-code". Block structure is indicated by indentation -- which
shouldn't be a concern given how many pretty-printers are used for Ada, C,
etc. that give the same effect.

	PERL is cryptic... (I had to help someone once with a problem debugging
a PERL script... I basically had to get a verbal description of what the
program was supposed to do, sketched it in Python, THEN did look ups in the
index of the camel book to find the PERL equivalent for everything I used
in Python).
