Are you kidding? The example I keep asking about is the addition
operator (+). Why does anyone need to say 2+2 when they can say
2-(-2)? The addition operator is a special case syntax for the
subtraction operator where none is needed. Should we deprecate it?
I'd rather say that a practical language needs to make concessions to
the way users actually think.
