In both cases the underlying visual and psychological metaphor is "there's something potentially plural on the big side of these double angles."
That makes perfect sense. I've always like operators, like greater-than which says "The part with two points is bigger than the part with one point". It's kinda like roman numerals (at least 1, 2, and 3), which are what they represent.
Now - another question that pops up - Will «SomeText» be implemented in the opcode level as ['SomeText'] would be, or will there be other opcodes for ['SomeText'] that provide the chance for different behavior because you're using the «SomeText» syntax? (If that makes any sense ...)
