Why do it? What's the advantage of calling two different syntaxes one
language? Simpler to just call them two separate languages - maybe two
languages that share some sort of runtime, but two languages. For
instance, Java bytecode doesn't have to be created from Java source
code, but we don't consider NetRexx to be a "switchable syntax" for
Java. It's a completely separate language that compiles to a .class
file.
