Which is why Brendan didn't like it in the first place, since he felt programmers would get confused that it was a dynamic assignment expression statement. OTOH, this confusion can't exactly last long, when the parser won't even parse your program. I'm not sure that confusion is really worth worrying about.
But why make misleading syntax? More of a question for John: why write |load("bar.js")| there, looking for all the world like a function call evaluated in order at runtime, when this is a special form evaluated before runtime?
