Replace them with anything else. The point was
OrderedCollection with:.. vs. [ ... ]
or Dictionary ... or {..}asDictionary vs. {a=>b, c=>d}
All in the context of painless light-weight DSL-like expression. Even the
simple [optional "self"] makes quite a difference.
Don't misunderstand, I would find it hard to give up the ST image, Seaside
and kin, and their productivity.
