As a language purist, I'm slightly saddened by the removal of the colon to indicate the beginning of an indented block on the next line.

I believe Cobra did the same and it always bogs my mind why that darned colon can't be left in peace. When you are reading line N, you already know that the next line will be indented, if there is a colon, that is. It is all about making the reading experience as pleasant and meaningful as possible.

Other than that: don't mind my gripes and congrats with the project. It looks good! :-)

Silly wabbit, colons are for WEPLs.
I agree with this.
