Hello,

I think the main topic here is about abc format philosophy.

To me a syntax should allow to write everything that does not harm its
integrity. 
It is not the target to tell how a text must be written, but how it must
not be written.
Any expression a person wants to use should be legal as long as it does
not collide with the integrity of the syntax.
Even if I would not acctually know a person who wants to use a certain
expression I would opt for the right to write that expression as long as
it does not break the integrity of the code.

Not asking all the time "why should we allow this ?" but "Why not?" and
rejection not just being the personal oppinion that it is silly. Its one
of the basic freedom rights, this right to do things others may call
silly.
