| Syntax such as $X[perlHacker | pythonHacker, webpage=_ ],
| bornIn($X:who,$Y:where),$Y[city]
| 
| may be looks "unusual", but it can have well defined clause based
| interpretation.

Yep. It's clear that you can define an "abbreviated syntax" for tolog
that expands into predicate-based "assembler". So consistency I don't
think is a problem. (Other things might be, of course.)
