To Be brutally honest - +1 for me too. This is very much a solution in 
search of a problem. If I were looking for any C/C++/C# style features 
to be added to the language, I would look at the following in no 
particular order of importance:

1) ++/-- operators
2) for loop
3) single character block statement (e.g., C braces, but maybe another 
character..)

I also like the idea of declaring variables part way through methods and 
also the way Java/C# declare methods inline in the class.

None of these I want badly enough to push for them.. indeed some may 
already be implemented.
