I've wanted this often. I've also wanted a clean way to lexically  
supply a default target object. For example with HTML::Tiny you often  
write

 my $h = HTML::Tiny->new();
 $h->body($h->head($h->title('FooPage')), $h->body(...));

I'd love to be able to drop the '$h->' everywhere. Like this:

 $h->body( head( title( 'FooPage' ) ), body( ... ) );

I guess that would/could be a related mechanism.
