Also, the whole idea is that REBOL is dynamic. It couldn't be if there was punctuation. I.e.: print a + b DOES NOT have a meaning, unless evaluated under some rules and some context. When you use syntax to give meaning (as opposed to context), you are imposing artificial limits. Whether they are useful or not, depends. I think that the point of REBOL is simplifying, also by removing some artificial limits. Of course, IMHO.
