Phillipe did not mean that, of course. He is merely pointing out that
curly-bracket languages are not the only ones in the world. Your brain
is used to curly-brackets, so you think it is the only way to delimit

People navigate through Lua source projects of hundreds of thousands
of lines with no problem, and no, they are not going to start counting
from zero.
