I am enthusuastic about these changes. They will remove one of the major obscacles to tyros trying to master the syntax.

A couple of comments: There are a few areas of the documentation that will need manual change, partly to explain the new syntax, partly to correct the indentation of lines following changed lines, and maybe one or two others. These can be addressed after the event. X-offset and friends. I'd prefer to change these to x/y-offset, to unify the letter-casing of properties. Can also be addressed later. I'm less concerned than Werner about the inconsistency of the tweak syntax. The context needs to be specified only rarely, and it is a small price to pay for the enormous gain. Hopefully the error message that results when it is specified incorrectly will be or can be made to be helpful. I'm also encouraged by the hints you've dropped that #4 and 4 can also be made equivalent in the majority of cases. In a later patch, of course.
