Hi, I think the reason is for consistency. If fact I like as it is now for that reason.
$a asParser / $b asParser / #foo asParser "It looks clear to me and is consistent." a asParser / $b / #foo "it looks odd because it is inconsistent." Anyway, for such simple parsers you loose consistency and you don't gain much. If you have to deal with longer statements, if you have to make your parsers reusable or simply to make your simple example cleaner for real, you should have separate methods: a ^$a asParser b ^$b asParser foo ^#foo asParser a / b / foo " this is cleaner and consistent" I hope I made my point.
