You're kidding :)

I could live with them but a lot of people couldn't. Too many
tools, editors, IDE's etc etc rely on balanced brackets.
Of course it's not impossible, after all brackets in *strings* don't
have to be balanced.
However there's another argument: subranges just aren't important
enough to waste valuable notation.
subrange (a,b)
is a bit verbose but it's acceptable.
Actually there are two distinct kinds of loops:
1. Special purpose (integer) loops
2. General iteration
We need (1) to implement (2). However this is good enough:
var i = 0;
label:>>
blah;
if i < 20 do ++i; goto label; done
