More syntax makes a language harder to read. The point isn't that making this special syntax would be harder, because it's not that hard. The point is that you don't need new syntax. In this case, the new syntax saves a few characters at best. I'm also don't think this syntax is any easier to read than a function call; I actually think it looks so similar that it would be easy to confuse with a function call making the language harder to read.
