Is this something that's being considered to be implemented in QB64PE?
Personally, I would find the use of multiple bracket types confusing in the BASIC dialect. Other languages, such as Python, use square brackets to identify constructs such as tuples which set them apart from evaluations. If I remember correctly I believe curly braces were used in Pascal (Delphi) for comment blocks. I don't believe I've ever run across a language that uses a mix of bracket types for evaluations. Again, my personal opinion, but I believe this would cause confusion.
