Charles,

I agree that it would be cleaner.  I just don't think cleanliness is
all that interesting -- usefulness trumps it every time.  And if
cleanliness was the answer, there would be larger changes to make --
like removing all the syntax variations by standardizing on a common
syntax like Lisp's.
