It's true; I think this syntax was probably made more for reading than writing since the main place it appears in the base language is just `Meta.show_sexpr`, but it's still interesting to play around with, and parsing it has some fun properties like that you can use Julia's standard syntax as effectively a preprocessor syntax for the s-expression syntax.
