I think different statements should be different colors.  Or perhaps stand
out from the screen differently in three dimensions.  Instead of top-down
programming we can have front-to-back, or some such.  I think you ought
to be able to hide one statement behind another.  Maybe you could do
conditionals that way.  Hey, did I just invent 3 dimensional programming
languages?
