Interesting idea.  Let's try it with English, using @ for nouns and $ for
verbs:

$Prefixing @names with @symbols like $ and @ $is a great @idea - it $makes
the "@nouns" (@variables) $stand out from "@verbs" and $makes the @code
$flow like natural @language, $making $reading it easy and $writing it fun!

See how much easier the modified text is to read?  :-)
