Please clarify - why is a'o still considered inadequate? Because people want to
use it in two ways?

At the beginning of a sentence, a'o is defined by the Book to be a
propositional attitude indicator.
In its own sentence, a'o hopes for something unspecified and so can be used to
express a simple feeling of hope.

What's the problem?
