yeah, because the "special-case syntactical work-arounds" are care-
fully designed to be *usable* for a well-defined group of *practical* 
problems.  it's about HCI, not CS.

please get over this "all I have is a hammer that my CS teacher told
me to use" mode of thinking; we're designing for humans, not wannabe 
language designers who believe in "the one true mechanism".  there are 
plenty of other reli^h^h^h^hlanguages for that kind of thinking.
