{{ mustache }} - fold

The normal nomenclature for { and } is "open-brace", "close-brace", or "open-curly", "close-curly". From this day forth, I propose a new nomenclature. From now on, it shall be known as "open-mustache", "close-mustache."

I like it. Then instead of curly braced languages you'd have mustache languages. I wonder if you could make a whole hierarchy, like clean-shaven languages, mustache languages, goatee languages, bearded languages, etc. You could probably use this to definitively say that C++ is a more manly language than Python.
