At long last, a clean design for all data representations in Quarrel has been reached. The design caused some major changes and has effectively winnowed down Quarrel to a place where there is enough abstraction to be comfortable in the available syntax that you can make with the characters on most people's keyboards.

Using this blog entry as a jotpad for an idea I am exploring. With the newly-minted, unified invocation syntax [], I now have two postcircumfix operators that are essentially untied to any semantics. I had a thought wherein the syntax of someContainer(...) could be best spent strengthening the semantic meaning of the parentheses in the first place: as a sequence expression.
