[racket-dev] P4P: A Syntax Proposal

People new to Racket, whether students or developers.

It's way too early to speculate on such things.  P4P has only existed
for a week (though, according to Jay, Honu does everything in P4P,
which means it's been dormant for years).  For now it's purely in
"highly experimental" state, though some ambitious people may be
willing to experiment with it.

No; to the contrary, I want to offer this to students.  Student code
has pretty serious visual structure problems.  The presence of
indentation sensitivity is no accident.  That's what I originally set
out to do.
