First, thanks for pointing out that ${something->something2} already
has a meaning.
Second, I think @{[ ... ]} is a plenty clean way to interpolate
absolutely anything. with tieing, we can get method calls to look
like hash lookups can we not, so why not do that if your method is
supposed to support interpolation?
"the result of f($arg) is $mytiedfunction{$arg}"
Maybe some syntax that is more direct than C<tie> to allow such things
would do the trick?
Or MJD's module, does it allow this:
tie %myfunction, THAT_MODULE, {some function which will be stuck into the
FETCH method}
