In order to do that, it is necessary aware of the precise

Sure, it is for compiler. And it for me if I check the definition
of symbol. But without going to some other source file and
looking up definition there is no way to guess if this:

variable. In my personal experience time lost to check such stuff
out is much more than time saved by fast and convenient
parens-less coding. Thus the attitude.
