Hm.. didn't really think of that.  Though, how often would that really
happen?

Often -- this is exactly the same problem as Python has with its significant indenting. Move code around and you have to manually adjust it to the new levels. The problem with ..foo is less apparent because you're likely to copy all the levels at once, and it's relative rather than absolute.

Personally I'd never use 3 levels or above. <..say> or <.say> is it. Beyond that, I would start naming the topics. Also, I would only use <..say> on quick and dirty code probably.


But why are we so keen on finding a way to save a few characters isntead of just naming the topic which leads to more readble code? If it's not self-descriptive, I think it does more harm than good.
