LTACHE and RTACHE is a lot less to type, and has some consistency with LPAREN and RPAREN which I recall from "back in the day" when I was at university and learning about lexers and parsers (go dragon book!).

LBRACE and RBRACE take the same amount of time to type and are standard nomenclature in lexers/parsers.

Ahhh, the dragon book. Probably the only book I own that is older than me.
