Incidentally, I read in an article by Bjarne Stroustrup[1] that "C++0x" will parse
    vector<vector<double>> v;
just like today's compilers parse
    vector<vector<double> > v;

Another of the changes he discusses, letting 'auto i = ...' create i
with the type of the expression '...', will certainly be an improvement.
Even better if the keyword 'auto' could be made optional!  (Of course,
this is another break with C, where the declaration 
    auto i;
makes 'i' an int)

And what's this got to do with Python?  I dunno.  Sorry.
