proposal: binding with a function

[BÁRTHÁZI András]

Hi,

As I know, for binding, you can use the := operator, and just this:
  $a := $b;

I would like to make a proposal, based on Ruby[1]:

  alias $a, $b;

It's a fun:

  sub newline {
        "\n" x $_;
  }

  alias newlines, newline;

So you can write:

  print 5.enters;

Currently, you have to write it a more "uglier" way:

  my &newlines := &newline;

Anyway, char '&' is really neccesary there? It should work w/o it, too, as 
I think. Now - in Pugs - it doesn't.

Bye,
  Andras
