the calling sign shuld be needed as as for years i wanted to do 
something like

void foo()
{
a {/**/}
b {/**/}
c {/**/}

  a;b;b;c; //calls a calls b twice calls c

}

( you  can alse make expressions of it a+b*c (where a,b,c are code blocks)

then if using

1 {/**/}
2 {/**/}
3 {/**/}

"A" {/**/}
"B" {/**/}
"CCC" {/**/}

it would clash with normal usage
lika printf("CCC");

so some operator to call it is needed (and it could wrk as swich if you 
allow to call it on variable not immediate value
