Sorry, but I'm not getting this, what problem is that?

I think the @ is as configurable as the curly braces in preppy.
The shortest reason for liking it is simply that it appears to
have the "quality without a name", for those who know the term.
I'll use empy with Pythonpoint and tell you more after that.
