This will not happen. People here (including Guido Himself) get extremely picky 
when the use of indentation is criticised. They do not realize that this feature
is an important obstacle for many people (and since these people have stopped 
using python they are obviously not posting here). Indentation is great, but should 
not be part of the syntax of a language.
