That and not requiring whitespace around operators, thus taking away a  
huge domain of possible multi-symbol names (such as := for  
initialization/assignment to preclude the =/== trap, or say, )\ for λ,  
and forcing camelCasing or carpal_tunnel_syndrome upon everyone who  
prefers descriptive-symbol-names...)
