That's also a possibility, I suppose, but the real thrust is it 
would allow you to have very clear (as in, visually offset by 
some sort of brace, in this example) operators that handle 
whatever weird transform you want for any convoluted data 
structure you care to define one for.

That they can be entered with a standard 104-key keyboard without 
groping about for however people prefer to enter unicode 
characters is just icing.
