Am I crazy to think that "Nil" could allow the Existential Operator to

Too error-prone. E4X (ECMA-357) and languages such as Borland's
mid-nineties "Lucy" (Loose C) allow you to cons up deep structures just
be expressing member references. One typo and you're lost.
Day dreaming, use U+02D9 (DOT ABOVE) as the operator.
