Yes.  At least the attempt in scsh has failed.  I'd say that the
command lines need a different syntax than the scripting syntax,
mainly because the requirements are very different.  (Command lines
are usually simple and don't need, say, complex redirections.)  I also
don't see a pressing need to escape from the script syntax to the
command line syntax (a tool that performs a translation would be
worthwhile, though).  There is a need to switch the command line to
"script mode," though.
