Hi,

Settling on a syntax, and an internal representation for that syntax,

I've been under the impression that this was only about syntax. What are the internal additions?

Generally speaking, I'd agree with Simon or even vote for doing the internals first and add the syntactic sugar only later on.

seems like it will make subsequent
discussions about those projects considerably more straightforward,

..or subsequent implementations more complicated, because you have to support an awkward syntax.

and it has some value in and of itself since similar notation is used
by other databases.

That point is well taken, but it would be more compelling if it were the same or at least a compatible syntax.

Regards
