How does "and(a,b)" give any benefit over "a&b"? The possibility that
someone might think it is already legal is not sufficient reason to make
it legal. Someone might also think it is legal to use module names as
well as primitive names in this way. Should that be added too, and what
would it mean? You can't take every user error and make it part of the
language.
How are you planning on dealing with the ambiguity of "or" being used as
an event-or in event expressions already? Do you expect the user to
decipher the differences between @(a or(b)) and @(a, or(b)) and @(a or or (b))
and @(a, or(b,c))? I don't know that there are any situations that are
actually gramatically ambiguous, but you definitely need a lot of context
to figure out what an "or" actually represents.
