I¹m trying to recover the notes that record this long standing agreement.
The ³meta::get² syntax showed up on the latest proposal based, I¹m guessing,
on a discussion at the March F2F. But I don¹t see any mention of catchalls
in object intialisers in the notes or proposals on the wiki, or the
es4-discuss archives.

I prefer get¹ to meta::get¹ as a ³keyword² and so I suggest we return to
the original syntax. I¹ll make a specific proposal for this change once I
see what the original syntax is.
