In the little consulting I did, this was a huge, huge, huge requested feature. While we could invent yet another syntax, it would likely be better to use a slightly ugly, widely deployed syntax that people are familiar with than a less ugly one they would be more inclined to make a mistake with and have a false sense of security.
