  I probably missed something, but I did not get this one.  What
exactly do you refer to by "micro syntax"?  Why is from="port@step"
adoption unlikely?

  I thought the WG was looking at syntax simplification, and this one
looks like a very good one, and a rather easy one to define, as it is
mainly syntactic sugar, isn't it?
