Yeah, it's an awesome idea. But akkartik deserves the credit for it: I merely added on the thing about destructuring assignments. I found the post where I got the idea from: http://arclanguage.org/item?id=12575
Turns out the idea originated with waterhouse, akkartik tweaked it, you mentioned something similar which reminded me of it, aaand then I added on destructuring assignments. Hurray for collaboration!
Also, why can't we do both? If I understand it correctly, = works based on the name, so we could have (list ...) and (quote ...) do the same thing. I like how (= '(a b)) is short, and it has synergy with destructuring in argument lists, so I'd like to keep that. :P
By the way, I got quoted destructuring in argument lists working hours ago. Now I'm working on getting fn, quote, if, etc. as fexprs.
Yeah, I just didn't think it was important to mention having both. And I remembered the conversation, vaguely, and I took that into account when saying that your post was awesome. ^_^
