I'm pretty hesitant to ignore backticks; I'd rather have Squiggle use them for something. This approach feels fairly wrong to me. There are a lot of ways we could import functionality from JS, this seems pretty hacky. |

Consider the following javascript object:
Then if the backticks (`) are ignored, this is also a valid squiggle program.
Suggestion: Ignore backticks in squiggle so that things like the above are possible.
Pros: Hierarchical models like the above are marginally easier to work with
Cons: Not sure how to add this to peggy + backticks become unavailable for future functionality
Importance: Low
