Very nice work. Lotta good ideas (of course that will never show up in
in standard python, but who cares). I would mention though if you had
used "end" for block delimiters (like ruby) instead of curly braces,
there would be no conflict with dictionary literals. I made such a
parser for another project. Just my opinion but "end" looks a bit
cleaner too than curly braces. Now if only you could make python
100 times faster, too.
