Another thought, will the new syntax contain more information about
the code itself (whether it is an array
or a method, etc.) it should be easier to downgrade new code to the
older syntax, shouldn't it? To me, the best formed language doesn't
overload its syntax.

In the new syntax the '.' would be overloaded, so some clever parsing
would be required to determine if the '.' was a method call (changed
to '->') or a structure field (leave it as '.').

Hmmmmm...is this really an improvement? Would we not be muddying the
waters with ambiguity again? It took long enough to move from the
overloading of the '()' where it was for both array subscripting and
function parameter delimiting.
