The attempt was to provide a simple fix for ambiguity, such as yours,
and then separately implement grouping as a distinct concept/mechanism.
I think it's more middle of the road between Pedro's and your proposal,
I don't see why we couldn't implement the grouping mechanism
separately on top of yours
should someone want to, personally for the purpose of the discussion at hand,
I believe your proposal is suffice.
