Compare that to what's removed:

• :[a b] ... GET-BLOCK!
• [a b]: ... SET-BLOCK!
• :(a b) ... GET-GROUP!
• (a b): ... SET-GROUP!
• :{a b} ... GET-FENCE!
• {a b}: ... SET-FENCE!
• :a ... GET-WORD!
• a: ... SET-WORD!
• :a/b ... GET-PATH!
• a/b: ... SET-PATH!
• :a.b ... GET-TUPLE!
• a.b: ... SET-TUPLE!

Hah, I always knew these were a bad idea! I’m not surprised to see a more flexible and powerful system arise from unifying them. (Much more flexible than my own suggestions were, even.)
