Was that what the foo.bar("baz") syntax was?  I thought that was in another 
RFC I had to hunt down and read :-)  But I think I like this anyway:

  -f.r($file);    # same as -r $file
  -f.rwx($file);  # same as -rwx $file

etc.  Or leave off the -, or even the -f ... oh well, I guess there are 
syntax possibilities ad nauseum, but none very satisfying.
