Yes, but I don't like your chances. More than one of the REALSoftware  
staff has responded to me, when I've suggested something like this,  
that it isn't "basic like". They also seem to think it would be less  
beginner-friendly. They also have an aversion to adding more  
"punctuation" to the language.

Personally, I think Python syntax is famously clear and beginner- 
friendly, and I'd love to see REALbasic steal quite a bit of it. But  
the current staff at REAL just aren't going to do it, from what I can  
tell.
