Don't like that. Looks like APL to me. A major point of Transcript is
to be easily HUMAN readable. Consider a rotten apple thrown.
A Modest Proposal:
How about if we eliminate both and enforce just a single-character
typing convention for objects and numeric values only for object
identification? That way "field 3 of card 7" would come out to "f3c7"
for a minimum of typing. The engine's parser would, of course,
separate these into separate tokens "f 3 c 7" and be quite happy.
Developers would have to type just four characters and the code would
be much more readable because there's just one way to describe an
object instead of two. The engine's parser would also run faster
because it wouldn't have to discriminate between two different forms
of object description.
