I have a strawman on this topic:
http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:bind_operator
I agree it's a real need. Just like ... will provide convenient, high-fidelity
(e.g., insensitive to Function.prototype monkey-patching) syntax for .apply, we
should also have an operator that provides convenient, high-fidelity syntax for
.call and .bind. I believe a single operator can provide both.
