I wanted to partially rephrase this last comment in case it comes across 
the wrong way. Is the syntax open for debate at all? If not then I 
respectfully withdraw any further arguments on my behalf on this topic. 
If it is open for debate, then I'd like to voice my opinion as others 
have already, that I would rather prefer a more elegant syntax.

Thanks,
