Hello again,

Sorry to follow-up on my own post, but another idea came to me shortly 
after sending it.

Now I'm thinking that the idea about a REPL mode (call it "shell mode," 
perhaps) in which outer parentheses were assumed might actually be 
nice.

Of course, that gets you into the need for a continuation character when 
an invocation must be split across lines and probably other issues, as 
well (people might start asking for file-system tie-ins such as file 
name globbing or completions based on file names...). But perhaps it's 
worth a little more thought, after all.
