I'm not entirely sure I understand your example; are you using "XYZ"
as an operator, or a token (another parameter)? I think probably the
former, but you may mean this differently.

In any case, it's a new syntax that does exactly the same thing that
we can already do, just with more restrictions, and arguably more
readably. That means it has to have a SIGNIFICANT advantage over the
current syntax - a pretty high bar. I don't see that it's cleared that
bar; it is, at best, a small and incremental change.
