Default Why can't you use brackets, braces like parenthesis in Excel?

Traditionally, when writing math expressions with nested parenthesis it is
often traditional to express the nesting by judiciously replacing paired
parenthesis with paired brackets and/or braces for clarity, e.g. {... [...
(... )... ]... }. As a suggestion, Excel should be able to detect nested
expressions and replace it with this more legible scheme as an aid to error
detection.
