hmm, i disagree with that.
[bang( is bang and not a symbol "bang"!
bang is an atomic event not containing data (not even a timestamp)
how do you encapsulate such a time-based event within a data-set (like 
"test this bang") ??
this does not make sense to me at all

next time, people will come and ask how to attach numbers to an event
[bang 3.14( ??

programming in time-domain is an important concept of patcher-like 
languages.
