Sounds like a good policy. How should we deal with things that have crept
in? Accept them provisionally, with the understanding that if a better use
for, e.g., braces, is proposed then the current use is removed? Grandfather
them, instituting the policy only for new changes? Or yank them for a
month?

I agree that this is a big hole in the query language. Any ideas for
syntax?
