The basic problem is of course the fact that braces are used for both hash
indexes and blocks. As Perl 6 already changes the way hash (and array)
components are accessed, this whould be the right time to introduce new
delimiter for either hash indexes or blocks.

If I get it right, the main trouble here is that there are no sensible
bracketing delimiters left on the keyboard...
