I agree that this is important.

For new features, Extensible Syntax (capitalized because it is a
specific proposal for a concrete universal syntax) allows you to use
the same quoting, escaping, nesting, exporting, etc. solutions that
were arrived at as a one-time fundamental mechanism.

This reduces the risk of adding quoting, escaping, nesting, exporting,
etc. issues when you add new features to (asymptotically at least --
it needs writing) zero.

I only mention it again to point out that Extensible Syntax was
motivated by reducing parsing risk, including the issues discussed in
this thread.
