I think one of the reasons this isn't done is certain syntax error expressions will have unexpected results.

-- suppose r_routine is a routine that points to bzero from C and happens to be 2. 
 
? 2*(1+2) -- The user gets 6 
 
? 2(1+2) -- The user forgot the '*', and gets a machine error trying to write to address 3, for some unknown amount.
