You could always use parenthesis: Right - I think there are going to be two points of contention regarding the prefix form: 1. Is a unary prefix operator appropriate, given the somewhat "magic" dereference+bind behavior? 2. Does the fact that `::obj.meth !== ::obj.meth` amount to a footgun? The infix form faces some different challenges: 1. Is it okay to encourage the "floating" method style (a la Jussi's library)? 2. Aren't we sacrificing polymorphism and is that a bad thing?
