prefix notation mimics of how we call functions

   setv result  (my_function  arg1, arg2)
to me this is as readeable as

   set result= my_function( arg1, arg2)
I realize that specifically arithmetic expressions in prefix notation look foreign, however I think most of the code are function calls -- and that's very normal.

If I would to think of an example where LISP notation is un natural -- it would be the if-statements.
