I am under the impression that it’s undesirable to have the syntactical meaning change based on the type of the expressions involved.

  I agree. My understanding is this is just syntactic sugar.

    It's ambiguous syntactic sugar, that can only be resolved by applying the semantic type checking pass. That's the kind of sigare that that leads to vexing parses, "causes cancer of the semicolon" as they say.
