+1,000,000. What makes Smalltalk as a language interesting is that, like Lisp, it's one of the few languages where you can fit the entire language on a napkin. I would think extreeeemely hard about the benefits before adding more syntax. If we wanted syntax at the expense of simplicity and uniformity, we'd be using Ruby ;)
