I'm not sure this is any improvement over "!()". The "!()" syntax at 
least uses parenthesis, drawing a parallel with function parameters. I 
think the best thing would be to allow parenthesis to be used alone, 
without "!()", finding some way around the ambiguities (maybe plainly 
disallowing them). Beside that, "!()" is still my second choice as long 
as we stay in plain ASCII territory. I haven't seen anything good 
enough to justify switching to a new syntax.
