I didn't get the impression that that was what he was proposing, but
regardless of who's suggesting it, the above does not make any sense,
from the syntax point of view.

Does that mean that from a utility point of view it does?

Not really.

I do not think whatever "utility" value outweighs the hassle of having to
think through the ramifications (including but not limited to security) of
running arbitrary user command every time a value is looked up.

Why is that your problem? If I have to enable it then isn't that my choice?
