Subject: Begin-End / { } / < > ?

Hi, All -
We have all complained for years that Verilog requires begin-end while the
C-Language uses { }.
I know we can't use { } because they are part of concatenation and replication.
Could < > be parsed unambiguously in place of begin-end? Since less-than,
greater-than and shift operators must each appear between two operands, I
was wondering if compiler writers could easily distinguish < > used as
begin-end. Just wondering.
Regards - Cliff
