This is awesome! Necessity is the mother of invention, and all that. The idea of using lispy syntax while dropping the requirement for the outermost pair of parentheses is definitely a neat idea - I'll try the shell out in practice to see how much easier it makes usage, but it seems like it would allow for 99% of the consistency of Lisp/Scheme less 20% of the annoyance for general shell usage.

Looking forward to what's in store.
