Currently, but my impression based on discussions was this was going to
be "fixed" in Perl 6. I'd love this:
dostuff @stuff;
To be able to automatically figure out I meant:
$stuff[0]->dostuff(@stuff[1..$#stuff]);
Hence RFC 174.
Before anyone brings up problems, there are precendence rules, etc,
covered in the RFC. Please read it and check out the thread starting
here:
