PROthon should implement {...} as optional block-beg and end marks.

# Original PROthon code  (uses indentation)
def abc(_x):
      if _x ...:
         do_1()
	do_2()
      do_3()


Could become

#!/usr/bin/pROthon
#pragma(C_STYLE_BLOCK=1)    # <- Valid within this file/module scope

def abc(_x):
{
   if _x ...:
   {
     do_1()
     do_2()
   }
   do_3()
}

----------------------------------------

The lack of "class" type and direct creation and use of objects is very 
handy for "Prototype-based Programming" (that's PROthon)

Who said OO-programming must have a class type ?
