</span>It is weird to me, but in no way confusing under the simple new rules,<br>
and I am actually looking forward to using that, and also to reading<br>
code with that.<br>
<br>
In fact, everything I wanted to pass two arguments in do-notation to a<br>
function I felt at a loss. The prospect of itemizing multiple large<br>
arguments to a function by writing<br>
<br>
someFunctionWithManyArguments<br>
do firstArgument<br>
do second Argument which may span<br>
several lines<br>
do third Argument<br>
<br>
is actually making me happy! It feels like going from XML to YAML...<br>
<br>
Greetings,<br>
