This is a very acute comment.  

Another example of Jerome's prophecy: sparse matrices.

    A = { [1,1] = -2, [1,2] = 1, [2,2] = -4 }


Ons should look at Lorenzo's proposal in terms of semantics, not 
syntax.  It's still the same proposal in this form:

    t = { a=b=c=very_long_name, d=e=f=complicated_expression }
