That's in the lexer, so changing it could potentially be hairy.  I don't
know why angle brackets should have to be special at this point (at
least to the extent of starting a new word) but that certainly doesn't
mean there's no reason, particularly since parentheses are fairly
heavily overloaded.

See what side effects the following has, though we certainly don't want
to commit it just before a release.  It doesn't seem to cause any tests
to fail, at least.
