The downside to () is that I actually tend to put spaces inside, so that's two more characters and they have to be balanced properly. On the other hand, I don't even want to think about balancing !s.

Are you joking? Anyway...
* How can one chain calls, eg having the result of a query be the argument of a command?
console.write list.sort!!
