BTW, I should clarify -- I think it's the attempt to use keywords as
_brackets_ (e.g., foo...end) that's the problem.  It doesn't work well
on a single line.  [whereas it _does_ work quite well in normal blocks,
where newlines and indentation help keep things clear.]

[I think a single-keyword syntax would be ok, as long as you're using
some other mechanism than "...end" to provide the bracketing.]
