Yes, but I adore the simple syntax.

    inl add a b = a + b

is basically a macro #define add(a,b) a+b

    inl f = add 1

is a macro #define f add(1)

    f 2, f 3

but e.g.

    inl f = add c

would create a closure to capture c. inl would guarantee that the capturing is lexical, not dynamic.

There's no need for the comma operator in args, comma is to create lists.
