While it's tempting, it does create an awkward distinction.
f(1, 2, 3) # look up f, call it with parameters
f[1, 2, 3] # look up f, subscript it with paramters
f{1, 2, 3} # construct a frozenset
And that means it's going to be a bug magnet.
Are we able to instead make a sort of vector literal?
<1, 2, 3>
Unfortunately there aren't many symbols available, and Python's kinda
locked into a habit of using just one at each end (rather than, say,
(<1, 2, 3>) or something), so choices are quite limited.
