I wonder if that's a part of the issue. There's almost no fixed grammar. Especially the basic things, many programs do the thing as an option.

Imagine if python functions /classes had their own add implementation.

You aren't just looking for foo + bar. You've also got baz(foo, bar, add), biz(add, foo, bar), buz(foo, bar).add().

Some people will use one. Some another, they'll be subtle incompatilities, etc.
