I don't think you've made the case for that assertion. Your description
is clear, but I can't see how real code would be simplified.

I would like to see some real examples of code that is using existing
syntax, and your proposed syntax, so the merits can be discussed in
context.

Can you provide some real-world code examples, that you believe would be
improved by this change?
