I know that many Python people would immediately reject Prothon upon seeing
the := .   Maybe we would steal some Io people.

I have had emails from people saying they refused to look at Prothon
because:

    Prothon used tabs instead of spaces for indentation.

    Prothon captialized None.

    Prothon used a $.

These are people that went to the trouble to send me emails.  Think of how
many didn't take the trouble.  I wonder if they thought I'd change the
language because of their "threat". :-)
