IMHO, the braces always looked somewhat alien.

However, just an idea but has anybody ever considers something like LISP's
or SCHEME's unquote mechanism?  While

`( (+ 1 2) 4)

is a constant expression consisting of one literal array and a 4,

`( ,(+ 1 2) 4)

is an array containing 3 and 4.

In Smalltalk

#( ^(1 + 2) 4)

with "^" meaning somthing like escape could work...
