It's a very weak benefit. I don't know about you but most of my time programming is spent thinking about the program, not writing it. In fact, this would only increase the time I need to think about how to write things (what was the symbol for reduce again?)
And easier to spot patterns in the source files. Whether someone finds that beneficial or not is subjective I guess, but I think it's useful to be able to immediately recognise what something like +/! is doing whenever you see it in source after using it once or twice.
