But this isn't about regular Ruby syntax, this is about extending Ruby syntax by embedding new languages within it. A new language may have new evaluation rules. As another user points out, there's a syntax called 'alias' that works similarly to my example, so I disagree that it would be violating anything.

I'm essentially asking for macros commonly found in the Lisp family of languages.
