  I'm not liking the sound of that. I really like being able to eg. create
lists of elements in a loop without having to worry about the commas.
If you make the current SDL "more formalized" and "consistent", you will
be removing a lot of its current flexibility which makes it so great.

  (Also being forced to create all the necessary commas in the loop,
except for the last element which is never followed by a comma, will
make the resulting SDL code to be more hackish and might not, in fact,
make it any easier to create any kind of converter from it to a new
language.)
