No, no, the brackets @{ @}, or the line-of-code indicator @@ are much simpler than FunnelWeb. For one thing, the Ada programmer only needs to understand Ada and will not think about typesetting or macros or line endings. > The font too should not suffer from Unicode phobia.

(AFAICT, Lucida and Hershey fixed width fonts were created specifically for Unicode, at the time; Plan 9 is a Unicode operating system and has always had comprehensive Unicode fonts. I believe this has been true of Windows(TM) as well. Maybe the regional font makers, the Latin-X delusions, and the stereotypical dexterity with ASCII keyboards (where 1 keystroke is supposed to produce 1 letter) have been in the way.)
