  * '...' - Using for Atom.
  * "..." - Using for Text.
  * [...] - Using this for List (and maybe Map).
  * {...} - Using this for Block.
  * <...> - No good, as it's too hard to parse differently than < and >.
  * (...) - Already overloaded for precedence and method call invocation. Tuple?
  * [<...>] - Looks like a really good choice. Map?
  * [!...!] - Might be too hard to parse ! inside a List then. (Unless we don't have a ! operator.)
  * [@...@] - Probably too hard to parse $ sigil inside a List then.
  * [#...#] - Probably too hard to parse comments then. Might use for nestable block comments.
  * [$...$] - Probably too hard to parse $ sigil inside a List then.
  * [%...%] - Looks like a good choice.
  * [^...^] - Looks like a good choice.
  * [&...&] - 
  * [*...*] - Looks like a really good choice.
  * [|...|] - Looks like a really good choice. Set?
  * [?...?] - 
  * [/.../] - Maybe use for regular expressions.
  * %w[...] - Like Ruby variants.
  * %set[...] - Like ruby variants, but with explicit names instead of hard-to-remember letters.
  * [<set> ...] - Like above, but looks nicer.
  * [[...]] - No good, as it's too hard to parse nested Lists then.
  * [(...)] - No good, as it's too hard to parse nested precedence parens inside Lists then.
  * [].set - Looks like a runtime conversion method, but is actually done at compile-time.
