Ehm. It can probably be made to work with sufficient black magic, but I
fail to see how:
- then as a method of print makes sense
- a hash returned by that method makes sense
If evaluation of hash keys is delayed until necessary, all you have to
do is make print return an object that has a then method. And it doesn't
have to do anything, even.
I think "then" as an infix operator is the way to go, if comma really
won't allow us to write this. "then" as a method my brain won't grok.
