Generally gently positive, with the exception of Anthony Baxter's "-1", which I understand to be motivated by concerns about newcomers to the syntax

The more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards -1 as well. Adding syntax is a very big step, and it needs a very solid reason to jusify it. I don't see this filling a use case that's anywhere near common enough to reach that threshold.
