I was trolling, I know the reasons behind it. Anyway, most people
don't share code by email! (Actually, since you seem to be the author
of that page - could you address that particular point? I think it's
probably as big an issue as any of the others, to today's coders -
"code semantics get destroyed by forums/email/etc/etc/etc".)

Solution: All emailed code should begin with
from __future__ import braces
And there you are, out of your difficulty at once!
