core syntax     vs      syntactic sugar
-----------             ---------------
4.+(12)                 4 + 12
array.[ ](13)          array[13]
persoon1.==(persoon2)  persoon1 == persoon2
if not                  unless
Proc.new          lambda

Aren't the things from to right column preprocessed into the left 
column?
