I'm not sure how a discussion about parenthesis `( )` morphed into too many brackets ("curvy brackets" - `{ }`), but I don't see the problem in any case. The use of brackets for block delimiters is visually quite distinct from any other use I'm familiar with so I don't see the problem. There is a usage of ;; that I don't quite grok, but seems to be fairly common so the ;; option probably wouldn't fly in any case. Perl's && and and operators have substantially different precedence. They must not be used as interchangeable. Yes, subtle I know, but very useful. Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond	[reply] [d/l] [select]
