Please stop the discussion! Guido already voted against it. I assume
most of the remaining core developers agree with me that three character
literals suck.

Guido seems to be under lots of tension lately. Please don't make him

PS: {:} is hard to type on a German keyboard, too. It's press [alt gr],
press 7, release [alt gr], press [shift], press ., release [shift],
press [alt gr], press 0, release [alt gr].
