Functional programming in Python

I agree, but let us not try to do that with just two (already overloaded)
symbols.

>     (let ((a 0)
>           (b 1))
>        (+ a b))

let { a = 0; b = 1; } in a + b

is valid Haskell and the way I use the language. Enough and more descriptive
visual cues, I say.
Using layout is an option, not a rule (although the thing is called layout
rule...)

Thank god :-)
