I agree. I value READABLE CODE much more highly than conveniant 
code editing shortcuts. The syntax was designed that way to make
readable, easy to de-bug code, and IMHO is entirely consistant with 
the style of launguage that rds created, as described in refman.doc

im sure with your 20+ years looking at c code that these things
seem redundant, but I think the one big lesson that can be learnt
from the C-monster is the real world value of readable code.
