So, two problems:

• Angle brackets already appear in var declarations for generic types; that means there are two different meanings for angle brackets in the same construct.

• When we eventually allow you to apply multiple behaviors to a single property, that will also mean that *commas* are used in both of those angle bracket constructs, but with different meanings (one means "chain these", the other means "fill these two slots").

These are not fatal errors, but they're also completely unforced—either `[]` or `{}` would not have this problem. So why choose the option that has the problem?
