One big problem with this is dealing with the contents -- if it's
plain string syntax, then you introduce an extra quotation level
headache.  Now, if nobody mentioned *that*, then it would be an
interesting point (missing a real problem because of the superficial
paren shape).

See the Scribble syntax -- that should work nicely in such a context.
