I'm saying syntax is nothing special. They are user-defined, as

How do you call functions without syntax? By mental telepathy? By direct
manipulation of the electromagnetic fields inside the CPU?
That's all the syntax notation you need in functional programming
languages: one to define functions, and another to call them. Any
extras are sugar around the basic definition and calling forms.
