What's the deal with the whole "layout" thing anyway? I've never come across it before in another language. Is it an academic thing?
How about FORTRAN (to a very small extent) or Python? I used to dislike layout, but I must say that it didn't take long to become a supporter once you start using it. If you look at C (& offspring), it's not the {;} that makes the code readable, it's the indentation that does. So why not acknowledge that? -- Lennart
