  The problem with your thinking is that you talk as if the "x*3" was a
"shortcut" property of "translate" or "rotate", when it actually isn't.
"translate x*3" just happens to work because "x*3" is defined to expand to
"<3,0,0>", which is ok for translate. However, the "x*3" has nothing to do
with the translate command itself. Thus you can't expect the same trick to
work with other commands which require a different syntax to work.
