There don't need to be superfluous parts for it to be unnecessarily
complex.

See, the problem isn't that any specific parts are unnecessary, and
there quite likely aren't any... after all, they were each added as
they became necessary. The problem is that adding new features over
time to a language that wasn't designed for that kind of extension is
going a more complex system than you would get if you had started out
with a design that had them in mind or had mechanisms that let you
extend it naturally.
