Some languages have used indentation to encode block structure, most obviously python. I do not personally like this approach, and I have not come to any decision about it, but there is now some empirical evidence that (a) users find it more readable, and (b) current programmers will elect to use it by choice when the opportunity is presented. [c.f. F#].
Can anyone explain how one goes about *implementing* an indentation-aware syntax? Does this require a hand parser, or can it be done with lexer thuggery? I can probably work it out if I give it some thought, but I haven't had a chance to do that.
