No, it should be syntactic. And it should be more obvious
than counting the number of expressions between "(" and ")".
Aggregates should use "[" and "]", so there's no confusion.
An empty aggregate would be "[ ]", and a singleton
would be "[X]". As far as I know, the only reason
this wasn't done was because of keyboards/character sets
that didn't have those characters. But that's a bogus
reason -- it could be done just like the stuff in J.2.
