expressing data in python

[Skaperen]

i love how python syntax stays simple through many complicated nestings. that works for code but not for data. lists end with a ] and dictionaries end with a } even if the data is spread over multiple lines. i wish the ending could be made optional in multiline data where nested data is indented.

for example:

modes = {
    'r': 4,
    'w': 2,
    'x': 1,
names = [
    'foo',
    'bar',

and maybe the , is not needed in these cases, too.
