Could you give an example of what you feel would not be possible in
Python? I have found that when most people hear "significant white space"
they mistakeningly feel that it is like older languages which had the same.
It is not. Thus far I have not found any indention of code that I would want
to do in another language (within reason) which is not possible in Python.
