( <- expr ) -- makes sense, and I think it's unambiguous ``expr`` -- back-ticks make sense for UNIX shell scripters
The latter is not sensible to me at all. It doesn't nest well.
Ah, excellent point! Okay, it's gone then. Everything will then need some kind of bracketing -- (), [], or {}. I dislike [] out of hand, simply because this has nothing to do with lists.
Neither does the former for that matter, but it forces parenthesizing.
I'm unclear on whether you still have an objection, given that yes it does force parenthesizing. -- Chris Smith
