I think these do need to be bracketed, since the "," is already used in the
IF/WHEN instruction and with DO WHILE/UNTIL for the shortcut AND
conditionals. Square brackets are already used as a message type
(primarily with collection objects), but thankfully, the usage follows the
same rules as builtin functions, so they can be used in both the message
form and paren-like fashion. Doubling up might work, but it feels somehow
"not right" to me.
