Just because we could have another way to write something doesn't
mean we should. We risk turning the language into perl, i.e., into
a language where there are ten ways to express the same thing and
thus nobody can read what anybody else writes.
I think it's a lot of extra work to implement and it doesn't look
like it adds much value.
