I've been playing around with dropping most of the parens, but keeping the rest.

People have played around with those exact ideas for decades. No-one has ever come close to making it work.

It's working just fine here; but I'm not simply changing syntax, this is a ground up redesign.

It needs to be a complete redesign where all parts pulls in the same direction.
