But you will need something a bit more convincing than saving 10
characters in some cases at the expense of introducing some fairly
obscure syntax.

Compilers are very good at parsing code, the human brain maybe not so,
e.g.

  foo({ 1, 2 });
  foo(C{ 1, 2 });
  foo(({ 1, 2; }));


Luckily, there are static analysis tools...
