Interesting project, thanks for sharing.

That seems to be a bit tangent to my remark though: this seems to be more about adding syntactic structures, embodied with miscellaneous brackets, and there are still some obfuscating abbreviations like "ldstr".

Ah yes, but the whole point of the project is to go away from this:

    ldstr "Hello!"
    call void [mscorlib]System.Console::Write (string)

And come to that:

    ((write: "Hello!"))

So `ldstr` does indeed feature in the example but only as a "before" picture.

But you're right, it is about adding syntactic features to the existing language.
