The brackets actually seem like a GOOD idea to me.
Also, what would we do about slices?

{a[1..2], b} = {1,2,3}

I know what I would want this to mean but what about this?

sequence a
atom b
a = {0,0}
{a,b} = {1,2,3}

Would this be legal? I hope not but I like the first one.
What about:

atom a,b
sequence c
a = 1
b = 1
c = {0,1}
{a,b,c} += {1,1.5,{2,3}}

I like this but it does begin to get confusing and it could get a lot worse!

PS. I still like:
    {status, value} = gets (0)
