How sad! It seemed such a simple and intuitive notation!

I think all of these would be unambiguous:

     {. code .}

     {: code :}

     {| code |}

     {[ code ]}

     [[ code ]]

     [ code ]

------- (My quirky use of capitals in code comes from my opinion that
reserved and predefined words should all start with lowercase, and
user-defined should all start with uppercase, because this will easily
and elegantly prevent a host of name-collision problems when things
like programming languages are upgraded with new labels.)
