OK - playing Devil's Advocate here... I think one of the strengths of the xtalk language is that there may be many different paths to the solution of any given problem. I've learned a lot, and continue to do so, by seeing how other people approach issues differently from the way I would. So this artificial restriction cuts down on exploratory coding and places limits on the creative process of algorithm development.
This might well be true *if* there had been explicit decisions about the syntactic forms that were allowed. However, this is not the case - the fact the parser is lax is a side-effect of implementation rather than constructed intent.
