t's been a long time (several years) since I've heard substantial
complaints about parens or prefix syntax from beginning students.  Also,
since we've emphasized indentation a bit more, they generally get
indentation right.  What they *don't* get right is line breaks: They all
act like they're writing code on their 38" TVs.  (Kind of surprising to
me, given that it's the texting/twitter generation.)
