Definite +1 from me. I'm not sure which of [] or () would be the right way
to go (or maybe something else entirely*), but dumping the angle brackets
is definitely an improvement.

* Although most keyboards are annoyingly short of available bracketing
characters (or any symbols that aren't in use, for that matter... the only
ones on my uk keyboard that aren't already used in nemerle are ¬, £, and
`, afaict...). Maybe make everyone learn french, and use «» ? ;)
