yeah, that's a bit tricky. { } are used for several things.

Could be a point or vector {x y z},

x = {1.0 3.0 2.0}

could be a quaternion:

$ show orientation rotation
{0.74129415 0.006376769 -0.33657235 0.580656}

could be a set of atoms if in a math context:

$ print {*/2.1}
({6461:23786})
$ select {*/2.1}
17,326 atoms selected

after an '@' it is a math expression embedded in a standard command:

load @{"c:/temp/" + filename}


Pretty much unambiguous.

The rotational matrix only needs 6 elements; the others are redundant.
The columns of the vectors are the transformed X, Y, and Z vectors, so
if you have two you can always get the third.

Oh, good!
