Has a hyphen been used anywhere for a similar purpose? I'm not aware of it.
I'm one of the least-techy of the bunch, though I can hack some code, and I
think it's better to stick to what most know, as long as it's not cumbersome
like {}.
I don't think the average, non-programmer users will 1) hand edit files too
often or 2) have a hard time learning //.
