Sounds great!
This syntax feels so natural, the more I look at it the more I like
it. And Python auto-indent works automatically after :, at least in
Vim (anytag: -> hit return -> auto-indented 4 characters) Cool ;-)
It also eliminates another ptl-related Vim problem -- files with long
multiline strings become very slow (I am not an expert on Vim so maybe
it's easy fixable though).
