I am baffled by this objection.  Do you seriously think that anyone will 
have any difficulty telling the difference in practice?

Can you give me a concrete example of what you mean?  I honestly can't 
imagine what problems you anticipate.  One of the reasons I've settled 
on lobbying for this syntax is that, unlike all the others, I expect it 
to be almost trivially comprehensible to anyone who knows the if 
statement's syntax.
