Right. Another example occurs in OpenGL, eg.

glBegin(GL_POLYGON)
   glVertex2f(-0.5, -0.5)
   glVertex2f(-0.5, 0.5)
   glVertex2f(0.5, 0.5)
   glVertex2f(0.5, -0.5)
glEnd()

This makes the code more readable, but it's not allowed in Python. I've 
got used to the indentation rule in Python, and I'm not annoyed by it that
much anymore, but I still think it is a major mistake.
