That way, you can bail out before a form would panic, or an expensive computation would happen.

This will entail making and and or reserved words in the scanner, adding dedicated parsing, and specific interpreting functions. I don't think it has validation consequences. (Using a placeholder will be a parse error.) Should be straightforward.
