Indeed. However, I think you'll agree with me that it doesn't help
make the input syntax consistent: having to choose between postfix and
prefix notation, dash- or dashless commands, string arguments that
require double quotes, a hash or whatnot.

Such discussions surely can (and will) be delayed until GLISS. Looking
forward to it, actually ;)
