Better, make the language strictly postfix, give it exactly one
grouping operator, parentheses will do, and you get a regular syntax
and lots of help for the compiler.  See the on going discussion in
comp.lang.forth.  For operators where it makes sense, have a default
number of arguments, and also an optional compilation (overloading) to
handle the variable length list of arguments case.  This completely
eliminates questions of precedence, etc.

For example:

	a b +           is an expression for the sum of a and b.
	(a b c d) +     is an expression for the sum of a, b, c, and d.
and
        a b c Func1     is a fixed number of arguments function call
        (a b c d) Func2 is a variable number of arguments function call
