[clug] Bad features of programming languages.

[Kim Holburn]

There are some things I don't like about python, but white space nesting is one of my favourite things.  Probably comes from years 
of programming in OCCAM a long time ago.  I tend to rearrange C and perl so I get white space nesting.

The main problem with white space nesting is the general problem of how text editors handle space and tabs.
