Unusual for sure. Beautiful? I don't know. The statement "sally reports
all" means something entirely different in english than in it does in
the above (which is largely because the above violates basic english
language structure making "reports" a noun where in english it can only
be a verb). If we take it from plain english we might get something like
"alice adds each of sally's reports" which we might translate as "alice
add: each_of sally reports" or so but that's not exactly beautiful
either. Unusual, for sure ;-)
Cheers,
