If my original message was too long for you, here's a short version:
My actionable proposal is to just supplement the existing collection selector
keywords with a syntax that eliminates them or replaces them with single
character sigils, and only in the PTMD_STD dialect.
For example, instead of having to write these longer forms:
Scalar:MyType:{<attrs>}
Tuple:{<attrs>}
Relation:{<tuples>}
Set:{<elems>}
Array:[<elems>]
... etc, users may instead write these shorter forms:
$MyType:{<attrs>}
%{<attrs>}
@{<tuples>}
{<elems>}
[<elems>]
This change I *am* seriously considering, so would that be just as easy to
understand?
