Interesting observation!  I still write todo lists and project plans as
indented outlines (sans redundant markers), and writing Python code felt
utterly natural the first time I tried it -- except for the trailing colon
on block openers.  That took 15 minutes to get used to, and for some
unfathomable reason I never forgot one after my first Python day, yet I
haven't adopted the same convention for other outlining purposes.

Hmm.  The idea that someone could dislike outlining is so foreign to me I'd
be hard pressed to consider such a one human.
