now, one more thing. imagine the someday-voice-control version of this UI. in that setting, we don't get to directly type punctuation marks, we have to say everything out loud as a word, which means we need a vocabulary of words and short phrases that deal with our syntactic constructs. it's highly important that it be a very small vocabulary, to make things easier for the speech-to-text engine and for the user; larger vocabularies lead to ambiguity problems.
