Personally, have . or .. just makes it plain hard to read. I
don't really like the $ idea as much as say eos or end as it
makes it harder for ppl how don't code in Eu to read the
source without learning tha language, but havin dots used
like that is insanely hard to read. I had to read you
examples at least twice to get what dot was for what!
Anyways, thats my *opinion*.
