This is for simplicity sake--see the law of orthogonality in the fish
design document. Instead of having a special operator that fish has to
parse, it is implemented as a command. Granted, it is not quite as
concise, but I think it is worth the trade-off. More uniformity, more
simplicity of design for fish.

I do think it would be nice for fish to recognize braces as a synonym for
begin end, for example "{ echo error; return 1; }". Using commands instead
of special syntax is for orthogonality.

Again, this is for simplicity and the law of orthogonality.

I actually like this.
