I'm in the camp of

- similar syntax indicates similar semantics
- different syntax indicates different semantics

…or something to that effect. Most importantly, I definitely agree that borrowing a syntax just because it's well-established, is a very bad idea if your intention is to give it different semantics from what one would expect.
