I have different perspective on those tokens.  I don't think they
are used that much to mean their alternatives.  So, I agree
that the alternate tokens to mean the same thing is obfuscation.
However, I do intent to retain them -- to mean something different.

Recently OpenAxiom introduces '[|' and '|]' in the old parser to mean
something else -- they are already part of the new parser.
