 I've written 3 pipeline descriptions using the new mechanism (the first
 descriptions other than Vlad's).
 I found the current syntax intuitive, expressive, readable, and most
 importantly, compact. My vote is to keep the current syntax.

 It might not match the prefix style of other aspects of the .md file,
 but I don't consider that a liability given the compactness and
 expressiveness. I consider other parts of the whole machine
 description mechanism far more lacking in elegance -- for example,
 the combination of the .md itself, embedded C code, and the
 "macro hell" (TM jeff law) in xyz.h.
