Hi, I'd be a strong -1 on this. It seems like an entirely arbitrary rule, to save two characters per call, making the language less consistent, and closing off syntax that might be useful for something else in future. It also seems odd to propose it now, as an extension to something that doesn't even exist yet. Surely there are much more "critical path" details of extension and scalar methods that we need to iron out before thinking about such extra sugar? Regards, Rowan Tommins [IMSoP]
