I'm sick and tired of grammar ;-)
Okay, "L" sounds nice, too, but i think i'll use '#'. Sounds so 
numberish. (It's nice to talk about problems here that are
far too outlandish for other languages to even think about.
Reminds me of a Wittgenstein quote : "What we can talk about,
determines what we can think about" or so... A pity that guy
didn't have an extensible language, it would have completely
turned his Tractatus Logicus Philosophicus upside down, i guess.
For the people unfamiliar with that: At the beginning of the
20th century, computers didn't exist but formal languages 
beginnings were being explored by philosophers/mathematicians
do find an unambiguous way to express human logical thoughts.)

Now, everything explicit for me, that's the way to go, no
invisible secretious things, if possible. I'll have a hard time
explaining this way of programming to anyone, anyway.
