I'm actually totally in love with the existing syntax (with the
possible exception of :/). I think it's extremely terse and
expressive. People who don't care about such flexibility and power
can stick to using ~ and ^. Enabling other users with additional
syntax doesn't harm them in any way.

No, not at all. First of all, ^{/foo} is invalid: you need to specify
a ref to dig through, like HEAD^{/foo}. OTOH, :/foo returns a match
from any ref.
